And not just for Obama but we may finally get rid of Big Oil Baroness Sen. Libby aka "Liddy" Dole too.
I was talking earlier to my sister who is about 60 miles from me but still in NC. She is retired and is very active in Democratic Politics. She said that she doesn't believe that JM and BO are tied but that Obama is actually ahead. She said that the Democratic Party has reportedly registered as many as 200,000 new Democrats. And that many are young and only have cells phones so they are not polled. I can't prove this is true but like I said she is active and spends time daily working for Obamas campaign and for other Democrats in NC.

Raleigh, N.C. – With concern over the economy at an all time high, Barack Obama has
pulled into a tie with John McCain in North Carolina for the first time in a Public Policy
Polling survey. Each candidate has 46%, with Libertarian Bob Barr picking up 5%.
There isn’t much doubt what’s driving this increased level of competitiveness. The
numbers of voters in the state listing the economy as their biggest issue has hovered
around 50% for most of the year but with the increased turmoil in the last week that
number has now jumped to 58%. Barack Obama has a 24 point lead with those voters.
“The more voters are concerned about the economy instead of things like immigration,
taxes, and social issues the better Democrats are going to do in North Carolina,” said
Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “That’s the direction the election is
headed right now and if it remains on that course the state is going to be extremely
competitive.”
National polls have shown Barack Obama gaining anywhere from 3 to 9 points in the last
week so this 4 point shift in Obama’s direction since last week in North Carolina fits into
that framework.
In the state’s Senate race, Kay Hagan is out to her biggest lead yet. She now leads 46-41
over Elizabeth Dole. The economy is driving her success as well. She has a 57-30
among voters who state it as their top concern.
OK I did find this which seems to support what my sister said.
The Associated Press: Democrats post big gains in voter registration Since 2006, the Democrats have added 167,000 voters in North Carolina, while the Republicans have added 36,000.
