N.C. a Presidential “Toss Up” State
The Cook Political Report ranks North Carolina a presidential “toss-up.”
Noted Washington political analyst Charlie Cook has previously included the state’s 15 Electoral College votes in the “Leans Republican” category.
He is the first of the big three analysts to say the state is in play. The Rothenberg Political Report still calls the state “Leans McCain,” while CQ Politics says it “Leans Republican.”
However, MSNBC’s political editors, Republican consultant Karl Rove and the Atlantic Monthly have said it is a toss-up.
