Official North Carolina Democratic Primary Discussion Thread

Exit polls indicate that Obama led in the west of the state

Expected, Chicago Media Market.

Edit:  Wrong state, sorry.

Well, it looks like its going to be a bad night for Clinton, seeing as how she might lose here by double digits. I suppose she'll keep her campaign going but I think that the supers will really rush towards Obama now and will have this thing over by early June. The only question remaining is when and if she'll drop out. I have to give her credit though, she gave it her all and put up a really good fight.

I don't trust the exit polls.

Exit polls are better for Obama than the actual results. Young enthused voters are more likely to talk to exit pollsters than cranky conservatives voting for the less electable candidate.

I kind of expect them to call this in a few minutes.

I think FOX just said they would when the polls close, but I only half heard them.

[Reluctant Republican]

FOX calls it.

CNN projects North Carolina for Obama

Massive Victory for OBAMA!!!!!

 I want to see Hill'iar'y spin this one.

Obama was expected to win NC by 110%.

[Joe Biden 2020]

That's an automatic 20 statewide delegates for Obama

[Alcon]

59-36 Clinton among whites
Whites are 63%
Poll votes only - no early votes

Be quiet for once, please.

That would portend a much larger Obama victory than 14 points, I would think. Perhaps not.

Did Edwards get like 3% of the vote?

I think Hillary, Obama, and Gravel were the three on the ballot IIRC.

Uncommitted is an option, too, I think.

This racial divide is absolutely absurd. Obama is winning 92% of the black vote. Imagine if Hillary won 92% of the white vote? There would be day and night segments on CNN and MSNBC about how racist North Carolina was..

No, they would talk about how Obama repels white voters.

Imagine that Hillary Clinton were the first serious white candidate to ever run for President. Imagine that you, as a fifty-year-old white man, grew up being called a "cracker" and refused jobs because of your skin color. Imagine that you suddenly felt that maybe there was some chance that such things wouldn't happen to other white people in the future if only you could get a white person elected President and show the black majority that white people weren't lazy and incompetent criminals.

Then it wouldn't be so racist, would it?

49-46-3 for Clinton with like no votes in.
