Official North Carolina Democratic Primary Discussion Thread

Not a vote in from Durham yet. Yep, Durham. I can't say how delighted I am at knowing Durham is a reliably Democratic county

I have an affinity with Durham, NC. Durham is my home county in the UK

Durham's coming in now though (68%):

Obama 74%; Clinton 25%

Bizarro exit poll number of the day (courtesy MSNBC)

8% of North Carolina voters were males who considered the gender of the candidate "a factor" in deciding who to vote for.  They broke by 19 points for Sen. Obama.

11% of North Carolina voters were females who considered the gender of the candidate "a factor" in deciding who to vote for.  They broke by 5 points...for Sen. Obama.

(admittedly, this is less than his overall margin among women in the poll.  Still, it caused me to do a double-take).

Dude.  NOBODY has an affinity with Durham.  Even the people who live there can't stand it, but they're too drugged-up to move away.  My advice if you ever go to NC, is to stay the hell away from there.

Out of interest, is it named after Durham (England) or some dude?

Any reason why Watauga with 30% reporting is, thus far, for Obama (60% to 39%)? Is it full of rich white liberals?

Robeson and Bladen, currently Obama, with about a quarter of the vote in for each but as tight as a tick (48-47)

[Democratic Hawk]

Nice Buncombe delivered for Obama.

Josh is vindicated, I guess.

Yep, 53 - 45

Obama ahead in Mecklenburg 70-30 with 17% in
