North Carolina benchmarks:
Wake (Raleigh): Obama won it by 11, Clinton is winning it by 21.
Mecklenburg (Charlotte): Obama won it by 23, Clinton is winning it by 36.
Forsyth: Obama won it by 6, Clinton is winning it by 17% (just the early vote).
New Hanover was a 5-point Romney county, early vote has it tied.
Gaston was a 67-32 Romney county. Trump leads it by 31.
So a decent start, but no one expects this thing to be anything but close.
