Obama's historic victory is made a tad more extraordinary with the news that AP has declared him the winner in North Carolina. An October comment from Andrew in North Carolina on this blog, underlines the scale of this achievement:
...from here in Durham, NC is a run-away lead for Obama - I have seen literally nothing from McCain.I got out into the state a bit last month (if you ever get the chance, do come to North Carolina. The Smoky Mountains, the Outer Banks - really beautiful areas) but still didn't see much about McCain past a few garden signs. Didn't even see many McCain bumper stickers at the NC mountain state fair, and that included hog racing, mounted cowboy shooting and the world's largest horse, so you would expect the visitors to vote a certain way!But still, along with the comments on the article you linked to, I have trouble believing that a state that still seems so rootin', tootin' American and has many 'dry' counties is going to go democrat.
