Lots of campaign stuff going on today.

Beverly Perdue is campaigning for governor in Winston-Salem. At noon, she will be at the Forsyth County Democratic headquarters at 1128 Burke St., and at 1 p.m., she will meet voters at Dr. J’s House of Soul Food at 1527 Martin Luther King Dr. (Perdue’s opponent, Richard Moore, is campaigning in Charlotte.)

Chelsea Clinton will also be in Winston-Salem campaigning for her mother. At 2:30 p.m., she will answer voters’ questions at Salem College. Afterward, she travels to Lexington for another event at 4:45 p.m.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is campaigning in Charlotte. Michelle Obama is in Durham and Asheville. Bill Clinton is in Indiana, but will return to North Carolina on Sunday and Monday. And both candidates will speak tonight at the N.C. Democratic Party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Raleigh.

Early-voting sites (where you can still register to vote for the primary!) are still open. But not for much longer — Saturday is the last day. After that, you can vote on Tuesday, the day of the primary, but only if you’re already registered.

Quote of the Moment

“I think a lot of women do vote for women. I get that pretty frequently.”

-- Janet Cowell, a candidate for state treasurer, on the success of many female candidates in North Carolina’s May 6 primary
