If NC is a swing state, then so is NM...

Eh not quite the full picture. New Mexico has trended twice R and twice D since 2000 while NC has (in some instances very narrowly) trended D 4 times in a row.

I don't think North Carolina is as easy to win for future Democrats as it may look on paper; primarily due to the fact that black turnout has been returning to pre-Obama levels since last year (and Obama only won the state once anyhow).
