NBC Called North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas for Carter in 1980, only to have Reagan come back and win.

NBC Called North and South Carolina for Carter in 1980, only to have Reagan come back and win.
Source? I think that the networks called North and South Carolina along with alot of other states for Reagan early based on exit polls. They called the presidency based on exit polls.

I remember a recording of that election night I saw where I saw one guy say that ..."the floodgates opened and almost everything went for Ronald Reagan." I think that North Carolina and South Carolina were two of the places that that person was referring to. They were, to my knowledge, called early like a lot of other places.

But, if you had a source, then you would be proven right. I would like to see a source.

Heres you stupid source:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25887219/#27168385

Watch at 2:11 in the first video

There you go.

I watched all the videos and didn't see any calls of the Carolinas for Carter in any of them, unless I missed something.

A lot of states were called ridiculously early in 1980, especially the South. Tennessee only went for Reagan by 0.4% and yet it was already called by 8:15 Eastern!

Did you watch the first video about 1980, if you watch closely, you can see on the map the states were called for Carter. You can tell that it was from 1980 because Brokaw in the clip was talking about the hosteges.
