As one of the only two extremely-close states of 2012, North Carolina (the other is Florida) shows that unless miracles happen for the Republicans in 2016, the Democrats win the Presidency. I can't see Governor Rick Scott getting re-elected in Florida, so the Republican nominee for President will have to win Florida on his own merits.
If Hillary is this close in North Carolina, then she is likely winning two of Florida, Ohio, and Virginia as well.
It's about as likely that the Republicans make sweeping gains in the Great Lakes region (which would make possible a Republican victory similar to GHWB against Dukakis) as that Democrats get the Mountain South "back".
If Obamacare (ACA) goes well, then 2016 is likely to be an inverse of 1988 for the Presidency.
