real good, mister, and your floozy is fancier than a Mount Pilot hooker, but I'm still voting for the not-crazy folks this time around.
From NBC:
NBC CALLS NC FOR OBAMA
From NBC's Carrie Dann
NBC News has declared Barack Obama the projected winner of North Carolina's 15 electoral votes.
As we noted in First Read this morning, elections officials will count the remaining provisional ballots and formalize the state's election results later this month.
North Carolina joins Indiana on the list of previously ruby-red states in Obama's column. George W. Bush won the state by 12 points in 2004.
Obama's hard-won victory may be partially due to increased enthusiasm from African-Americans. In 2004, John Kerry only won 85% of the black vote in North Carolina; this year, Obama beat McCain among black voters in the state by a margin of 95-5%.

And the people of North Carolina breathe a sigh of relief. I worked at the Board of Elections until late and everyone there was jubilant at the record turnout and registration of new voters we experienced.
Tuesday night was a full-on party all over Greensboro. You couldn't find a Republican.
Thanks for the coverage, Dg!

5% of the blacks voted for McPalin?
W.T.F. ???????
thanks suzan!
drift -- when I first saw your sig on the picture it looked like it was supposed to be there -- the ever present zildjian on the cymbals
Yay!
As someone lives in NC, I'm so happy. It was no question that Obama was going to win, but seeing my state hanging there yellow for so many days was agonizing.
But we kept the faith didn't we, Triozyg and Kimberly?
North Carolina is on a new progressive path and we will not let those efforts falter.
Now to change Obama!

I've lived here almost 49 years, and after Reagan I thought I'd never see this state in the blue column again.
