NC’s Audacity to Hope
May 7
14 percentage points and over 220,000 votes later, Barack Obama has won North Carolina. I’ve never been prouder to be in this great state than I am today. Today my fellow North Carolinians stood up and voted for integrity, change and hope, and for that, I thank them. I believe Barack when he says that when he’s the Democratic nominee in the fall, he will compete in the “swing” state of North Carolina. Would the same be true if Hillary was the nominee? Doubtful.
I look forward to the possibilities of a blue NC, but for now I’ll take our moment in the sun when we all decided to speak up, make a difference and vote against entitlement and politics as usual. Thank you North Carolina. Thank you.

That’s 2 more times than Hillary would visit if she were the nominee. I would guess more than 2. Excellent analysis by the News & Record today about why NC is in play in the fall.

I would say yes. And I think you’ll be in negative numbers soon as he’s decided to make NC a battleground state for the fall.
