IT'S OFFICIAL: NC GOES BLUE FOR OBAMA!

I can finally truly celebrate Obama's victory. I couldn't really celebrate until now. I know that sounds insane, and that's fine if it does. But I wasn't even truly happy during Obama's speech Tuesday night, because we weren't part of it. Now we are, and the US electoral map has officially changed, probably forever. By 2030, NC is projected to be the #7 most populated state, which will bring its electoral votes from 15 up to 20/21/22. And the state's electorate will only be getting bluer and bluer.

Basically, the Republicans have a new Pennsylvania they will have to worry about in every election from here on out.
