Not really. The Democrat party has a huge problem with white working class voters and men. Obama will be lucky to get 35% of the white vote in 2012.
Mr. steal your pension and load up with debt Romney will not be able to get 10% of the white working class men in NC. Too many are out of work thanks to con.eco. theory

Lol 35%?? You are just making numbers up now aren't you??
Obama did poorly with white working class voters in 08 as well. Obama was never going to do well in western NC (outside of Asheville) or in the white parts of eastern NC, However, that isn't where the people are. The Triangle is going to be an absolute obliteration.
Once more I am not sure if the Romney people are falling into this mentality, but many Republicans are just assuming NC will not be competitive despite the ample evidence to the contrary. If the Romney people buy into that assumption and don't focus here I think it will be game over.
Great point. Also worth noting is the overreach and subsequent backlash against state Republicans after they took back the legislature in 2010. We've already got Tillis and others walking back Amendment One before anyone's even voted on it. Nobody covering the race outside NC seems to know about this but it's just as important as whoever's at the top of the ticket. Maybe Romney will benefit from McCrory's reverse coattails.

35's a bit low but 38-39% is definitely in the cards. He got 43% of the white vote nationwide in 2008 but that was likely a fluke. I'd put it at about 40 plus or minus 1.
The margin of error is 3.1 so this is still not much of a lead actually. Obama has got issues if this is the best he is doing and Romney isn't even the nominee yet. Once he is and Republicans start to come together, Obama will be hurting.
Romney looks to be hurting from having at least 6 relatives who are supporting Ron Paul for president. His relatives don't think he would do a good job of supporting the U. S. Constitution.
