Are political pundits wrong to call North Carolina a swing state?

[Figueira]

The term "swing state" has a lot of definitions. It could mean a state that often switches between parties (in which case NM and IN would be swing states but PA and WI wouldn't) or it could be a state that is likely to be close, or a state that is likely to determine the outcome of the election. North Carolina is a swing state by some definitions, but not others. I generally think of it as a swing state though.
