[Mr.Bill]

1. Or, as Fox News would put it,

Too close to call.

[Life Long Dem]

2. Just saw Todd give Romney NC.

Saying Romney camp believes they will win NC. With the early voting Romney is going to need quite a percentage of the vote on election day to win NC.

[damnedifIknow]

4. I agree.

NC is looking mighty fine right now in the early vote.

[Jennicut]

6. NC is shocking in it's early vote.

Could make the state a true toss up on election day coming down to every last vote.

13. Our early voting numbers are down from 2008, and we have no margin for error

In Colorado, it doesn't really matter if the Democratic edge is -2 compared to +2 in 2008 with early voting, because Obama won by 9 points. But in North Carolina, Obama won by a fraction of a point, and even the slight dropoff in early voting from 2008 could flip the state back to red. I would love to win NC but if I had to put money on it I would give it to Romney. But I would love to be wrong. Luckily we don't need it...it was icing on the cake in 2008.

3. it's the unaffiliateds that are going to make the difference in co

iirc, there are more unaffiliated voters here than either registered democrats or republicans, although the republicans hold a slight registration advantage over dems.

5. Question

How do these stats compae to 2008? Are we about at the same spot? Ahead? Behind?

8. Obama supporter from India

We want him to win. We don't care what you do. Don't let scumbag Romney anywhere near the White House.

[surrealAmerican]

10. Just to clarify:

These are the party affiliations of early voters, not which candidates they voted for.

[titaniumsalute]

12. So where do independents fall?

I have no party affiliation in Florida but I voted early and of course for Obama.
