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).

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

Dave



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.

Well if he likes his own Durham then he probably wouldn't feel too out of place in the city you describe...

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

Obama is up 135k votes. How's winning the popular vote working out for you, Hillary?

Probably Gettysburg, third day.

Hillary is closing the gap slightly.

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

FiveThirtyEight.com is suggesting a final margin for Obama of 12 to 15 points here.  (and Clinton by around 3 in Indiana)

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

Now at 36%, Obama leading by 20.  It will possibly be closer than expected.

Many people were saying that Obama would struggle to break double digits. He's going to win by something like 15 points.
