Final(ish) Score: 364-174

North Carolina has just announced that the unofficial winner of its 15 electoral votes is President-Elect Obama. He has apparently emerged with a slim but firm 13,000 vote lead, and all that remains for the official count is to finish tallying the provisional ballots, a task which is expected only to increase his lead.

This was the last outstanding state, and with this announcement the final Electoral College numbers are Obama - 364 to McCain - 174, the largest landslide by a Democrat in a two-man race since 1964. But Novak says it's still not a mandate. Go figure.
