Greensboro, N.C. — Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will attend a rally in Greenville next week, a campaign official said late Wednesday.

The Oct. 7 event at East Carolina University will be the first appearance in North Carolina by either Palin or Republican presidential candidate John McCain since the state's May primary.

...

Doors to the Minges Coliseum are scheduled to open at 5 p.m. for the rally, but campaign officials didn't say when the event would start.

Obama has been hitting up the College Campuses really hard since he won the nomination, this is a smart move on his part.

“NC? McCain’s campaign must be really hurting.”

You seem to be enjoying yourself...

It is actually the traditional job of the VP candidate to campaign in places like this to shore up the base. Biden has been in Kerry states for the most part.

Hopefully Palin will pull up other Republican races...

I really really want anti school choice Purdue and slEasley out of there.

Kay Hagan is a tax and spend, dismember innocent babies jerk. Hopefully NC will go McCain/Palin/Libby Dole/McCrory.

I heard about this on WPTF news this morning. The reporter used a sneer when he mentioned it was a “private fund raiser”.

Pretty sure they aren’t doing a private fund raiser at Minges Coliseum which is the basketball arena at ECU.

About NC, of McCAin’s numbers are dipping everywhere. But, Obama is on the air everywhere in NC. I can’t turn on the tv without seeing his mug. He is even running ads on country radio station and talk radio stations including during Sean Hannity.

I think you are right, not a private fundraiser. I am trying to get tickets for my daughter, granddaughter, and myself. I am so excited about the this!!!!!

My contact indicated, it looks hopeful (that I will be able to get tickets.)

Life is GOOD!
