I could be wrong, but my gut reaction is North Carolina will go Republican, with John McCain benefitting from the major state races instead of the other way around. Both Kay Hagan and Bev Perdue are all over the place, with Commander Hood nailing Perdue’s ‘convoluted position’ on offshore drilling.

Meanwhile, Meck Deck says Pat McCrory’s “thin skin” and “charmed life inside the Uptown bubble” hamper his campaign, keeping the race closer than it should be.

Like I said, I could be wrong.
