1. Great news! Good thing we weren't counting on it to win, eh?

[patriotvoice]

2. 100% of NC counties reporting: O=49.70%, M=49.38%. NC=Blue.

Obama's percentage has trended up over the last 12 hours. SBOE isn't calling it official, but unless there are a miraculous 15,000 votes some where, NC went blue.

10. Yes, this and Indiana are incredible shifts. This shakes up the map permanently. I want it called!!!

Come on CNN! Call North Carolina!!!!!!!!

[Barack_America]

4. I think it's safe to call it. Further scrutiny of the early voting and provisional ballots...

Will likely only add to Obama's total.

Congratulations North Carolina! You are a "real" Southern state and you are OURS!

15. Wow, how recent is that picture?

[marions ghost]

7. OK but

I want to know why North Carolina lags behind all other states. Do they count the provisionals only in the event of a race closer than 2 points?
