Not even the Southern moderate <a href="/wiki/Bill_Clinton" title="Bill Clinton">Bill Clinton</a> of <a href="/wiki/Arkansas" title="Arkansas">Arkansas</a> carried it in either of his elections (though he came very close in <a href="/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election_in_North_Carolina" title="1992 United States presidential election in North Carolina">1992</a>), and in <a href="/wiki/2004_United_States_presidential_election_in_North_Carolina" title="2004 United States presidential election in North Carolina">2004</a>, Democratic nominee <a href="/wiki/John_Kerry" title="John Kerry">John Kerry</a> lost North Carolina by a 12-point margin despite his running mate <a href="/wiki/John_Edwards" title="John Edwards">John Edwards</a> being a sitting Senator from the state. </p><p>Obama decided early on to campaign aggressively in the state. It paid off quickly; most polls from spring onward showed the race within single digits of difference between the candidates. He also dramatically outspent McCain in the state and had an extensive grassroots campaign of organizing to get out the vote. This was also one of the closest statewide contests of 2008, as Obama captured North Carolina just by 0.32% of the vote - a margin of only 14,177 votes out of 4.2 million statewide. Only in <a href="/wiki/2008_United_States_presidential_election_in_Missouri" title="2008 United States presidential election in Missouri">Missouri</a> was the race closer, where McCain nipped Obama by less than 4,000 votes, a margin of 0.14%. </p><p>Republicans have traditionally done well in the western part of North Carolina which is a part of <a href="/wiki/Appalachia" title="Appalachia">Appalachia</a>, while Democrats are stronger in the urbanized east. When a Democrat wins in North Carolina, almost everything from <a href="/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina" title="Charlotte, North Carolina">Charlotte</a> eastward is usually coated blue. Even when Democrats lose, they often still retain a number of counties in the industrial southeast (alongside <a href="/wiki/Fayetteville,_North_Carolina" title="Fayetteville, North Carolina">Fayetteville</a>), the African-American northeast, the fast-growing <a href="/wiki/Interstate_85" title="Interstate 85">I-85 corridor</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Piedmont_(United_States)" title="Piedmont (United States)">Piedmont</a>, and sometimes the western Appalachian region next to <a href="/wiki/Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a>. For example, a map of Bill Clinton's narrow 1992 loss in North Carolina shows him narrowly winning all these regions.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Obama did not take the traditional Democratic path to victory. Instead, his main margins came from the cities, where he did particularly well throughout the country. While Obama won only 33 of North Carolina's 100 counties, these counties contained more than half of the state's population. Obama's victory margin came largely by running up huge majorities in the I-85 corridor, a developing <a href="/wiki/Megalopolis" title="Megalopolis">megalopolis</a> which is home to more than two-thirds of the state's population and casts almost 70% of the state's vote. The state's five largest counties--<a href="/wiki/Mecklenburg_County,_North_Carolina" title="Mecklenburg County, North Carolina">Mecklenburg</a> (home to Charlotte) <a href="/wiki/Wake_County,_North_Carolina" title="Wake County, North Carolina">Wake</a> (home to <a href="/wiki/Raleigh,_North_Carolina" title="Raleigh, North Carolina">Raleigh</a>), <a href="/wiki/Guilford_County,_North_Carolina" title="Guilford County, North Carolina">Guilford</a> (home to <a href="/wiki/Greensboro,_North_Carolina" title="Greensboro, North Carolina">Greensboro</a>), <a href="/wiki/Forsyth_County,_North_Carolina" title="Forsyth County, North Carolina">Forsyth</a> (home to <a href="/wiki/Winston-Salem,_North_Carolina" title="Winston-Salem, North Carolina">Winston-Salem</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Durham_County,_North_Carolina" title="Durham County, North Carolina">Durham</a> (home to <a href="/wiki/Durham,_North_Carolina" title="Durham, North Carolina">Durham</a>)--are all located in this area, and Obama swept them all by 11 percentage points or more. He particularly attracted highly affluent and educated migrants from the Northeast, who traditionally tend to vote Democratic; as well as African Americans, Hispanics (an increasing population in the state), and college students, voting blocs who had overwhelmingly supported him during the course of the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. In 1992, Bill Clinton was able to win only Durham County by this margin; he narrowly lost Forsyth and Mecklenburg (the latter was where Obama had his biggest margin in the state). Ultimately, Obama's combined margin of 350,000 votes in these counties was too much for McCain to overcome. </p><p>McCain did well in the Charlotte suburbs, Appalachian foothills, and mountain country; he carried all but four counties west of Winston-Salem. Aside from the I-85 corridor, Obama's results were mediocre in the traditional Democratic base. He lost badly in Appalachia, mirroring the difficulties he had throughout this region. Obama won only three counties in this region, one of which was <a href="/wiki/Buncombe_County,_North_Carolina" title="Buncombe County, North Carolina">Buncombe County</a>, home to <a href="/wiki/Asheville,_North_Carolina" title="Asheville, North Carolina">Asheville</a>, the largest city in the region and a destination for retirees from the North. In the Fayetteville area, he did as well as Al Gore (who had lost North Carolina by double digits). </p><p>During the same election, Democrats picked up a seat in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">U.S. House of Representatives</a> in <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina%27s_8th_congressional_district" title="North Carolina's 8th congressional district">North Carolina's 8th congressional district</a>, where incumbent Republican <a href="/wiki/Robin_Hayes" title="Robin Hayes">Robin Hayes</a> was ousted by Democrat <a href="/wiki/Larry_Kissell" title="Larry Kissell">Larry Kissell</a>, a high school social studies teacher who almost toppled Hayes in 2006. Kissell received 55.38% of the vote while Hayes took in 44.62%, a 10.76-percent difference. Democrats held onto the <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_Executive_Mansion" title="North Carolina Executive Mansion">Governor's Mansion</a>; term-limited incumbent Democratic <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_North_Carolina" title="Governor of North Carolina">Governor</a> <a href="/wiki/Mike_Easley" title="Mike Easley">Mike Easley</a> was ineligible to seek a third term but <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_of_North_Carolina" title="Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina">Lieutenant Governor</a> <a href="/wiki/Bev_Perdue" title="Bev Perdue">Beverly Perdue</a> defeated Republican <a href="/wiki/Pat_McCrory" title="Pat McCrory">Pat McCrory</a>, the incumbent mayor of Charlotte. Perdue received 50.23% of the vote while McCrory took 46.90%, with the remaining 2.86% going to <a href="/wiki/Libertarian_Party_(United_States)" title="Libertarian Party (United States)">Libertarian</a> Michael Munger. </p><p>In a highly targeted <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">U.S. Senate</a> race, Democratic <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_Senate" title="North Carolina Senate">State Senator</a> <a href="/wiki/Kay_Hagan" title="Kay Hagan">Kay Hagan</a> defeated incumbent Republican <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Dole" title="Elizabeth Dole">Elizabeth Dole</a> by a wider-than-anticipated margin - by 8.47 points. Hagan received 52.65% while Dole took 44.18%. The race received widespread attention after the <a href="/wiki/National_Republican_Senatorial_Committee" title="National Republican Senatorial Committee">National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC)</a> ran its notorious "Godless" ad that accused Hagan, a Sunday school teacher, of accepting money from <a href="/wiki/Atheism" title="Atheism">atheists</a> and accused her of being an atheist. The adverse reaction resulting from the ad was considered a major factor contributing to Dole's defeat. At the state level, Democrats increased their gains in the <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_General_Assembly" title="North Carolina General Assembly">North Carolina General Assembly</a>, picking up five seats in the <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_House_of_Representatives" title="North Carolina House of Representatives">North Carolina House of Representatives</a> and one seat in the <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_Senate" title="North Carolina Senate">North Carolina Senate</a>. </p><p>According to exit polls, more than 95% of <a href="/wiki/African_Americans" title="African Americans">African American</a> voters cast ballots for Obama. This played a critical role in North Carolina, as 95% of the state's registered African-American voters turned out, with Obama carrying an unprecedented 100% of African-American women, as well as younger African-Americans aged 18 to 29, according to exit polling. Comparatively, the overall turnout of voters statewide was 69%.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span
