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."
No matter what happens on Tuesday, I hope that people will come together, instead of being torn apart. We have to shed the divisiveness caused by racial, gender, and socio-economic warfare.
We must embrace our differences as a nation and realize that we are much the same in spite of the differences. We all have goals and aspirations and these ideals don't have to come at someone else's expense. We cannot move forward as a people if we don't learn to accept that we have to work together on the problems we face as a nation.
We will still be facing the same issues on Wednesday that we face today. Keep that in mind if things don't break the way you wanted them to. You still have a responsibility to be vigilant and be involved in our government's affairs.

Look in rear view mirror for Bev's future
Egotistically on the campaign trail Saturday, Perdue said, tell a friend that "I saw her.... I saw the future of North Carolina." She was exactly right.
We know exactly what we would get with Beverly as Governor as we have seen her behaviors for 8+ years:
- More of Mike & Mary Easley and secretive democratic control
- No transparency in government
- Limited exposure (like with her debates, she will pick her time to be public)
- Continued use of DOT as a political lever (complete with money from board members)
- Same old education & mental health problems
- Control by the unions
- Pitting regions of the state against one another for political gain
As importantly, a lack of trust in our public officials (Remember Mavretic's words, you cannot trust her)
North Carolina deserves better than Perdue.
