In case anyone has forgotten, the polls didn't predict Obama to win NC in 2008 [View all]

Found this little nugget while doing some research today myself.

But I've been encouraging people for almost two weeks now to look at the numbers--
registered voters--and how many people are coming out to vote.

From Wikipedia:

North Carolina was won by Democratic nominee Barack Obama with a 0.3% margin of victory. Prior to the election, most news organizations considered NC as a toss-up, or swing state. But few truly believed Obama would win North Carolina. Only 2 of the 17 news/ political organizations listed here actually correctly predicted the result, an Obama victory.

So, let's do this! Turn NC Blue again!

GOTV!
