Leroy Towns thinks it'll be a change ticket.

The UNC-Chapel Hill journalism professor, who maintains the Talk Politics blog, predicts Barack Obama will win North Carolina, Pat McCrory will win the governor's race and Kay Hagan the Senate race. 

Still, he cautions against taking his predictions too seriously. 

"When races are as close as they are this year in North Carolina, there are no pundits," he writes. "Only people who guess."
