7. And NC-08 went blue too! No more Robin Hayes!!!

:woohoo:

It's a great day to be from North Carolina. :)

[Sukie]

10. Boy am I happy to hear that Hayes is gone. We used to live

in his district and my parents still live there.

[racaulk]

22. Same here!

I'm from Hamlet originally (in Richmond County). Where did you live?

[ccharles000]

19. Wonderful

[TornadoTN]

8. I am envious of you guys

I can see North Carolina from my house, does that qualify me as an honorary North Carolinian?

[GreenInNC]

30. come and join us

[TornadoTN]

33. I'm seriously considering it

I'm going to see what is available in terms of employment over that way. That's the only thing - I've got a steady career here with job security. But we've been looking at making a move just to get away from this area.

[ncgrits]

42. Heck yeah! Come on!!! nt

[mollymongold]

9. why havent they called it? it said 100% was in in NC with Obama leading.

A bright new day for the land of the long-leaf pine. The sky will truly be Carolina blue.

[seabeyond]

And now this North Carolinian (transplanted Texan) is going to bed.

We got my new state. Next time we'll get my home state!

[ms liberty]

16. I'm so happy that I'm unable to articulate my feelings properly. NC is Blue. WOW. n/t

[hay rick]

18. Blue like the tarheel jerseys. Congrats.

[nico818]

20. The hardwork payed off. North Carolina volunteers worked their asses off. CONGRATS from CA. n/t

[MattNC]

21. GO TAR HEELS! n/t

[swishyfeet]

23. You rock! Congratulations!

[rebel with a cause]

24. okay North Carolinians

with 100% reported you are tied 50% Obama 50% mccain. What are you going to do about that? Can't you get it right? You're not suppose to end up in a tie.. ;)

Barack has more votes even if they are calling them both having the same percentage points, so does he win the state?

[mnhtnbb]

26. Unbelievable turnout in NC--68.37% of registered voters! Wow.

[JBear]

27. We came, we saw, we worked and we did it!!!

The level of organization on the GOTV campaign was incredible here in Wake County...I just hope we don't forget how we did this!! Words can not express my delight!

:bounce:

[harun]

28. Good work NC, you rock!

[1Hippiechick]

29. I just posted, asking DUers to visualize NC turning blue. Our state NEEDS to go blue as much as our

country needed Obama as President, imo. (I know he's president-elect--I'm enjoying getting used to saying President Obama!)

[stuntcat]

31. *visualize*

Once NC goes BLUE I'll be 100% pleased with the election

[democracy1st]

32. well done K& R

[polichick]

34. Very impressive! And I'm so happy about Kay Hagan. :)

[BleedingHeartRN]

41. NC has made a lot of progress in the last 4 years

I'm thrilled about Hagan beating out Dole!

[MJkcj]

35. Congrats NC. Proud of you!

[Blue For You]

36. Yes indeedy! We had a great night.

[PassingFair]
