Obama Declared Unofficial Winner in NC!

Is it over? Is it really, really, over? "Almost," says the Raleigh News & Observer:

Democrat Barack Obama is the unofficial winner in North Carolina, but the victory over Sen. John McCain won't be sealed until provisional ballots are counted and certified next month.

Unofficial returns show Obama ahead by 13,746 votes.

"Our law allows us to say who the unofficial winner is," Gary Bartlett [NC State Board of Elections] said, "but you know we have a formal process in which we audit records." The county canvasses are Nov. 14, and the state is scheduled to certify the results Dec. 1.
