Stuart Rothenberg says North Carolina is in play.
The editor and publisher of the Rothenberg Political Report wrote on his blog that it's one of six to 10 states that could switch from Republican to Democrat and vice versa in the presidential race:
Four states won twice by George W. Bush and ordinarily in the GOP’s column — Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio — should be prime Democratic targets. The first three have large numbers of upscale white voters who may respond to Obama’s appeal, while the closeness of the race in Ohio four years ago suggests an ongoing Democratic opportunity.
This is a variation of the "New South" argument that Dome has noted before.
