NC Primary Day 2010 (UPDATES)
Update 2 – 10:27 PM: Great night for Ilario Pantano in NC 7 as he defeated character assassin Will Breazeale handily. Pantano will go on to face incumbent Rep. Mike McIntyre for a seat that has been in Dem hands for what seems like forever. NC-8 will likely see a runoff as no candidate has made it to the 40% mark. Tim D’Annunzio leads, and Harold Johnson is a close second. Democrats will likely have a runoff next month between NC Sec. of State Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham in the race to beat incumbent GOP Senator Richard Burr.

I couldn’t be there but some of the local news nets were all over it with some pretty fair and balanced coverage. Not much yet on crowd estimates – my guesstimate would be about 500 from the one aerial shot. First, video from WCNC:

Local station WCNC has a live video stream of President Obama’s upcoming speech he will give here in Charlotte, which will presumably happen sooner rather than later.
