Yes. But I'd be very, very surprised if VP Harris wins NC. I just don't see it.

Think we'll win at least Gov/AG/Education, so we'll avoid the Darkest Timeline.

What about LG? Do you think Rachel Hunt pulls it off?

I am concerned at how "under the radar" her campaign has been. Seen lots of Jeff Jackson ads, but none for Ms. Hunt. Heck, my retired mother (who I kid about being "mad about politics on the internet" all day) didn't even know she was Jim Hunt's daughter.

Could also see the voters who have broken sharply for Josh Stein voting GOP for LG as a "check" - not knowing much about either candidate seems likely to default to that result.

I'd say that's a true 50/50, much like the Supreme Court seat.

Harris is getting decent polling out of NC; Robinson is a clown, and Cooper is relatively popular; I figure that gives you a margin of error race and with a ground game run by the NCDP and it's coordinated campaign, you get close or actually win(basically;GOTV, GOTV, GOTV, and GOTV !)

If we give any credence whatsoever to public polls, NC seems very close, so a win by either candidate would not be an upset.

I respectfully disagree. Given that North Carolina has only gone Democratic twice for President from 1968 onward, it would be considered somewhat of an upset if Harris pulled it off (and I hope she does).

If so, a very slight one. NC is at most Tilt-R now.
