NC: PPP: Hagan +3

While anything is technically possible, I can't imagine a world where national mood the Republicans pick up the Senate, but NC elects a Democrat. Something has got to give.

What's so implausible about this scenario where the Republicans hit 51 Senate seats? 

That scenario is basically Democrats winning the competitive races in the 2008 Obama states and Republican winning in the 2008 McCain states.  That's why I'm a pessimist about the Democrats keeping the Senate.  Republicans need to lose a competitive races in either Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alaska, Kansas or South Dakota, while Democrats win all the competitive races in swing states like North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado.

The early voting for Republicans in NC is off to a good start. Something I'm not used to seeing, because Democrats dominate Republicans in early voting every election.

They dominate in-person early voting, not by mail early voting.

This race has been pretty consistent.

It's a world where African American voters turn out in high numbers for a midterm election but the rest of the Obama coalition falls off and independents don't turn out.
