I was.
One state that sounded my alarms that night was North Carolina. Not because it was called for anyone early; but because it wasn’t called for anyone.
The pre-election polls for North Carolina kept showing Romney ahead by 5-10 points in North Carolina. Obama even pulled all resources out of the state during the election, effectively conceding. Yet on election night, for hours, the networks kept showing them 50-50 in the state (Romney eventually won by a slim 2%). They were able to call Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other states for Obama quickly. Yet North Carolina remained uncalled and polling 50-50 until late.
When I saw how Romney couldn’t win North Carolina quickly, I immediately sensed that his chances of winning Ohio, IA, NV, CO and other states were doubtful.
