At N.C. State University's Reynolds Coliseum, where Barack Obama will speak later tonight, the big screen TVs are on and NBC just projected Obama as the winner of the North Carolina primary.
Usually when this happens on primary nights, the Obama crowds go wild, Margaret Talev reports.
But it’s only 7:30 p.m. — they haven't even started letting the cheering section in yet. It's just several dozen journalists and a scattering of Obama campaign volunteers and organizers.
