8. Thanks! In case anyone else is wondering, the vote totals are now

...64,206,511 Obama, 56,611,357 McSame with 98% of precincts reporting. As it stands that's a 6% difference.

7,595,154 vote spread in favor of Obama. I think by the bar Bush** set in 2004, that's a definitive mandate.

5. It seems to be true....

Obama adds symbolic NC victory to White House win

By MIKE BAKER and BARBARA RODRIGUEZ – 13 minutes ago

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — President-elect Obama has won North Carolina, a symbolic triumph in a state that hadn't voted for a Democrat in more than a generation.

The Associated Press declared Obama the winner Thursday after canvassing counties in North Carolina to determine the number of outstanding provisional ballots.

That survey found that there are not enough remaining ballots for Republican John McCain to close a 13,693-vote deficit.

North Carolina's 15 electoral votes brings Obama's total to 364 — nearly 100 more than necessary to win the White House. Missouri is the only state that remains too close to call.

Obama's win in North Carolina was the first for a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter won the state in 1976.

7. What? Two days later? That's a lot of counting. nt

9. And, we don't have the suburbs of DC to help put us in the blue like VA does.

Even GA, with big ol' Atlanta, couldn't pull off BLUE this year.

I'm so proud of my NC!

[Contrary1]

10. And if Missouri goes Blue, that would be 375 EVs...

The Repubs are saying it isn't a mandate for Obama. I agree.

It's a landslide!
