Tom Jensen's thoughts:

"It's unlikely Obama will really end up taking North Carolina by 5 points in the fall. Things will probably tighten up as Republicans unify around Romney. But it's a great position for Obama to be in a state that he really doesn't need in order to be reelected this fall."

Wow, weird considering the last poll of Virginia has him down by 5 or 6.

[Governor NVGonzalez]

If we see these numbers at the beginning of October then Romney is more than finished.

Unless Obama is caught in bed with a live boy, a dead girl or Medvedev (if you beleive Romney).

Opebo, the last VA poll is a complete joke poll and if it were printed on paper, you could use it as toilet paper.

I seem to remember NC always polling more favorably to Democrats in the Spring.  I think Romney will take this state.

It might just be different this year. If North Carolina is close, then President Obama has won Ohio and Virginia -- maybe Florida as well -- anyway. The state is likely the difference between about 345 and 360 electoral votes for the President.

Agreed.

Certainly not in the last presidential election. Few if any polls had Obama over McCain until after the financial crisis.

How did you got that idea? Obama led for the first time only a month or so before election day.

[IDS Speaker Ben Kenobi]

Well said Adam. This election is done.
