I am wondering how much the rain or maybe snow in the mountains will have on today's election. Also in my opinion the Democrat running for governor is probably more conservative than the Republican. The Republican is expected to win. He has painted Dalton as a liberal but we all know that a Democrat from the mountains is probably more conservative than a Republican from Eastern North Carolina. They are both conservative though, so no problem with either one. I think this will be about the third time for a Republican governor since the Civil War. We are expected to also pick up several Republican congressmen both state and national.
As far as the presidental election is concerned, I think it is a toss-up; but I can dream. LOL I have done all I can.
You think this time Obama is going to EXPAND the amount of votes he won by, compared to last time? I believe he won by something like only 14,400 votes when EVERYTHING was going his way.
What a pity the Gov race is. I can't stand either one, but all I can vote for this time is to end the recent gov shenanigans.
Even though there has been less enthusiasm for Obama, anectdotally I think he's done a better job getting voters out. I think it will be Dem Prez, Rep.Governor unless Dalton rides in on straight party tickets.
With 2 million votes counted thus far McCory is up 10 points for Governor and Obama is up 17 points for President. Thus far it seems I may have been right.

Yeah, Romney will most likely take NC due to a surprise (Wake county). For whatever reason, that county did a total flip from 4 years ago. Other than Wake, the NC results look almost identical to 2008. IMO though, it is a good sign that NC is still a swing state. Maybe Charlotte will host a RNC convention soon as well? Just like this year's DNC, I'd certainly be there.

The fact that it is looking like we still will have a democrat Lt Governor speaks to that. Also the fact that NC race is still a lot tighter than most of the other "swing states". In the last few hours Obama has even closed the gap, but it is still likely Romney will win, but just a week or so ago he was projected to win by 5 points in NC and the democrats had abandoned the state to Romney to focus efforts in Ohio and elsewhere. I think most of this has to do with the President's "ground game" which has been grossly underestimated. Like I said earlier, though there was less in your face enthusiasm this year the Obama campaign has really been working at a grass roots level to get out the vote.
