Some NC stats from the primary:

There are 6,296,759 registered voters in NC.
2,164,074 people VOTED or 34.37%
4,132,865 people DID NOT VOTE

There were 1,303,952 votes FOR the Amendment-61.05%
There were 831,788 votes AGAINST the Amendment-38.95%
We lost by a total of 472,164 VOTES

The only good thing to note is that that there was such a low turnout. The only hope for Obama in NC is to have a large increase in turnout in November. With the NC Democratic party having problems at the top, it is difficult to see that happening. It is possible, but it won't be easy.
