President and VP in NC

Our state is the destination for couple of VIP’s this week.  President Obama visits North Carolina today to advocate for his latest "jobs plan" in an invitation-only event in Apex and a public event at NC State.   Then Vice President Joe Biden will have a fundraiser in Raleigh on Thursday.  Some speculate that this is further proof of North Carolina's critical swing state status in the 2012 election. With the Democratic National Convention taking place in Charlotte, and numerous visits from Obama administration officials and the president himself, North Carolina is front and center for the 2012 campaign.
