Fmr President Clinton rallies North Carolina voters in support of Obama

Former President Bill Clinton continued his nation-wide tour to attempt to drum up more support for President Barack Obama by making a stop in Raleigh on Sunday, the capital city of the key battleground state of North Carolina. The Obama campaign is making a last minute push in the state, as recent polls show that it is a good possibility that he will lose the state he carried in 2008 to Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney. Clinton continued to illustrate the stark contrasts between the President and Romney, saying that Romney's campaign was based on empty promises, with no explicit plan that is known to the voters.

The former President's visit represents an influx of surrogates campaigning for the President in North Carolina. First Lady Michelle Obama teamed up with singer Mariah Carey in Charlotte, NC Monday afternoon, with Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joseph Biden, making an appearance in Huntersville and Asheville on Friday. Some have expressed concern that the President himself has neglected to make any personal appearances himself in the state since the Democratic National Convention during the summer. Coincidentally, Romney has also neglected the state in recent days, preferring to have his network of supporters continue the campaign in his absence, which is likely due to his confidence in carrying the state on Election Day.
