Fox News just called the North Carolina Senate race for Democrat Kay Hagan. With 3 percent of precincts reporting, Hagan holds a 62-35 percent edge over Elizabeth Dole.

It’s a big question mark what this means for Barack Obama’s showing in the Tar Heel State. It’s early going still, of course.

It’s also interesting to weigh what impact the Godless Americans PAC ad sponsored by Dole in the waning days of the campaign has had on the race.
