After landing in Columbus, the [Hillary Clinton] campaign entourage headed by motorcade to Zanesville, a town of about twenty-five thousand, sixty miles away, for what was billed as an economic “summit.” When one speaker offered encomiums to Clinton rather than economic prescriptions, she gently reprimanded her, saying, “We’re going to put a moratorium on compliments.” [...]

We will know the actual results in about ten hours.
Update: With about 99% of the votes counted, Obama is winning in North Carolina by [...]

Two tracking polls, opposite trends.
Hillary vs Obama : Gallup, Rasmussen.
Look at the period March 15 - March 24.
What to make of it?
Update: Mark Blumenthal points out that at least a large part of this variation can be attributed to statistical ‘noise’.
