[swag]

A SurveyUSA poll of North Carolina released last night gives Barack Obama a 49%-41% lead for this May 6 primary.

From the internals: Obama leads 78%-17% among black voters, while Hillary Clinton leads 52%-35% among whites — a less racially-polarized result than we saw in Mississippi.

3. Kool, I'm from NC

MAYBE if Hillary campaigns here she can pull up closer to even with Obama. I kinda hope the campaigns do get here. I'll be able to go see both Hillary and Barack live in person. I've always wanted to see Hillary live. It would be awesome. We'll see though... I have a feeling this may end before my state gets to participate :(

UNC, Duke, NCSU, NCAT, NCCU, ASU, UNCW, UNCC, UNCA, UNCG.....

Obama, he says, leads over the other candidates substantially.

8. I go to Fayetteville State University

There's also Fayetteville Tech, UNC-Pembroke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Winston-Salem State...NC is filled with colleges all over the place.

9. Yay!

I'm going to one of those! lol And my friends and I are voting for Hillary!

6. NC has 115 pledged delegates

This will be the stake in the coffin for Hillary.

7. I think he's going to do very well in the remaining races

minus PA.

10. NC's an interesting case. Obama should do well here though

We have something like 16 state campuses, and scads of private colleges throughout the state. Somewhat conservative, but typically vote for Dem governors and legislature. Lots of transplants from other states in the last 15 years as well.

NC can be kind of goofy, but there's no other state we'd rather live in!
