You do get bones, all the time. The whole "State of Mecklenburg" thing is so dumb. No, it's not just you, it's the entire freaking state. (with the exception of rural NC which gets new interstates at the cost of billions, when the US and state routes they replace aren't even close to capacity.)
If you think that Thom is actually going to support funding for anything other than more privately run toll lanes, your delusional.
Sure, it's probably the only way I won't end up getting drunk and bombarding all of my republican facebook friends with threatening messages all night.

Darn. You're gonna miss out on the fun part.

Sean Haugh pulled down 107,734 votes. This is 3.74%. It's significant because it's more than 2x the difference between Hagan & Tillis. The media will ignore it, but I don't think the DNC will.
The early voting statistics I kept posting here suggested that Hagan, as incumbent, was in trouble. Turnout was not occurring in the demographics she needed.
Harry Reid is going to be crying in his Geritol this morning after his "Senate Majority PAC" spent million$ upon million$ to air and amazing 13,600 political adverts on local NC TV. (I had noticed their adverts had suddenly disappeared towards the end of early voting.)
Voter Turnout was a record high in NC for a mid-term election. This lays to rest the claims that changes to early voting makes it "harder" for people to vote. Just the opposite has happened.
NC has completely & thoroughly rejected the Obama Democrats that it voted for in 2008. Perdue & Hagen are now gone and Obama lost the state in 2012.
Governor Pat McCrory has to be quite happy. Not because of Tillis, but more because the NC General Assembly remains under GOP control. It's a clear validation of his policies.
Obama became a lame duck when the NC race was called.

Another 3rd party spoiler.

NC seems to have become a solidly red state.
It was once considered purple.
It's still just as purple.
What is more clear than ever is an urban/liberal vs rural/conservative divide.
Just like Florida has.
I look forward to seeing the vote count breakdowns.
