Obama's North Carolina math problem

Everything that could have gone right for Obama in 2008 did go right, and yet he still only won North Carolina by just 14,177 votes -- a tiny sliver of the 4.2 million cast statewide. Thanks to his campaign's striking ability to expand the Democratic electorate, Obama even managed to win the state while losing independents to John McCain. Today, though, it's hard to find a Democrat in the capital of Raleigh who believes the president can repeat his near-flawless performance.
