The Hendersonville Times News has the story, via AP. I had just been wondering about when Obama and Clinton would be headed to our state, and possibly to Asheville.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Illinois Sen. Barack Obama will bring his Democratic presidential campaign to North Carolina this week.

A statement issued by the Obama campaign on Sunday said he would be making stops in Charlotte and Fayetteville on Wednesday.

No further details were available on Obama’s visit.

The fight for delegates between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has made North Carolina’s primary a crucial stop in the 2008 presidential campaign. North Carolina and Indiana have primaries on May 6, two weeks after Pennsylvania.

Thanks to loyal reader Arratik for the heads up.
