44.09% was the percentage of voters who turned out in North Carolina. Voter turnout has nothing to do with it. The will of the people is that the Democrats have been dumped. Obama no longer has a mandate to lead, and neither do the Democrats. The Republicans will define the Democrats as the do-nothings that they are over the course of the next two years, then walk into the White House with a supermajority. Just like the Democrats did. And just like the Democrats, they will over-reach and it'll be the Democrats turn to ruin everything again with their stupidity.
