The Final Push for North Carolina
In the final full week of the 2008 presidential campaign, North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes are still very much up for grabs, and the campaigns are fighting hard for them. Both presidential candidates, and both of their running mates, are visiting North Carolina this week.
Sarah Palin held a rally in Asheville yesterday that could be described as a mix of singing and zinging.
Today, Joe Biden is going green: he has rallies first in Greenville and then in Greensboro. No word yet on whether he’ll talk about the environment.
On Tuesday, John McCain will be in Fayetteville. And on Wednesday, Barack Obama will return to North Carolina at a location that has not yet been announced.
Even the Libertarian candidate for president, Bob Barr, is visiting North Carolina. On Wednesday evening, he will be speaking at UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University.
