Obama Wins North Carolina!

CNN has already projected that North Carolina will be won by Senator Barack Obama. Using exit polls posted on the CNN website, I predict that Obama will win by approximately 5 percentage points.
We will have much more coverage later, using the exit polls to analyze what was going through the minds of voters in Indiana and North Carolina. For now though, it looks like a true split decision. Senators Clinton and Obama look like they will each win a state by approximately 5 points. However, in the larger scheme of things, Senator Obama should add to his delegate lead tonight, since North Carolina has more delegates than Indiana.
I was right on the money when it came to Indiana, but admittedly well off when it came to North Carolina. I picked Obama to win, but really didn’t believe he’d win by so much. As an Obama supporter, I’m thrilled to be wrong in this case.
