Delivering his North Carolina victory speech, Obama addressed the exit polls showing that both his and Clinton's supporters would be "dissatisfied" voting for the other candidate in the general election should their preferred Democrat lose.
While acknowledging that there have been "bruised feelings on both sides," Obama told the cheering crowd, "I am here to tell you I don’t believe it."
That was followed by lofty language declaring the election is not about him, Clinton, or John McCain. However, Obama quickly noted that a McCain victory would be allowing him to "serve George Bush's third term."
"I don't believe it"
