Dems aren't just capable of winning NC; they DID win it in 2008. I don't know why we don't remember this.

They also won Indiana, do you think that's likely to be repeated?

I'm sick of this meme that ONLY "ruralness" makes a state Republican, as it plays to many Democrats' misplaced superiority complex they seem to have about who their voters actually are.  The suburban vote in the state of Indiana is pretty damn Republican, it's not like the state's politics can be summed up as a bunch of rural folks barely outnumbering the poor cosmopolitan liberals who just happen to be stuck in Indiana.

This is a better floor map then most, but if Minnesota is a swing state, surely North Carolina is too.
I've done the math. In 2012, North Carolina was much more Republican compared to the nation as a whole than Minnesota was Democratic.

2012 was a GOP wave year

Obama only won reelection by four states and the Dems only made 2 Senate pickups

In a regular year (2006, 2008, etc.) you would see that NC is much swingier than MN

Andddd your credibility is shot by calling 2012 a Republican wave year and 2006/2008 "normal," LOL.

Dems have the 242 Blue wall, all they need is 28 electors to win. OH or NV&CO plus NH.

Is this a key on your keyboard like how at fast food restaurants they have buttons for each order?
