The party identification figures are misleading, as they are across the south.
Many are old southern Democrats who, whilst they've been voting Republican for decades, apparently haven't changed their party registration.
Nonetheless, if registered Republicans are underperforming by 10 percentage points in early turnout then it's obviously not a good sign for John McCain.

If Obama wins NC this will be a bloodbath. Politco now has added NC to a list of states going blue which makes a 200+ lead. It seems that the only states which are going to go red are the assured solid red states. Anything doubtful, such as NC, Iowa or Indiana seems shaky.
Yep. If the GOP is that on the nose that NC falls to a black man ... Obama is going to win in a landslide across most of the non-confederate states.
I think we should discount early voting as any guide. Early voting for the most part will reflect those who are super keen, and obviously Obama has won the 'enthusiasm' contest. Will mean nothing when the wider population walks in on voting day.
They should turn themseles blue. I'm cheering for Obama BUT it's not hard to see Politico most certainly made it's choice months ago about who it wants in the Oval Office.

And he carried it!
It was all those furries from Chapel Hill and the gigs from Superchunk that did it.
Completing a Democratic sweep of the Presidential, Senate and Gubernatorial contests in North Carolina.
They also turfed out Rep. Robin Hayes in the 8th congressional district.
