10 FRIDAY, APRIL 25,‘2008 Campaigns gear up for N.C. Obama edging Clinton in state polls BY ARIEL ZIRULNICK ASSISTANT state a NATIONAL EDITOR V\ ith only 135 delegates dividing Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, delegate-rich North Carolina sud denly matters in a very big way. The state has 115 delegates up for grabs in the May t> Democratic primary, and it is the last major stop before the Democratic National Convention in August, when the party will choose its nominee. Clintons campaign is scrambling for votes because Obama began his N.C. campaign with a double-digit lead in the polls. “We've seen that Sen. Obama has a strong base of support here," said Carl>- Lindauer. spokeswoman for Clinton's N.C. campaign. “We know- that we have an uphill battle, but we are looking forward to fighting it." Obama's advantage comes from the presence of large blocs of voters who have been bastions of support Let our Certified Packaging Experts help you move home for the summer.

North Carolina's black popula tion. about 30 percent of the state's Democrats, is a significant advan tage, UNC journalism professor Leroy Towns said. Obama also has a distinct advantage in the growing metro politan areas of the Triangle and Mecklenburg County. The large blocs of well-educated, affluent residents there are expected to fol low the pattern of earlier primaries and swing in his favor, said Director of the UNC Program on Public Life Kerrel Guillory. Clinton's consistent advantage in past contests among white manu facturing workers could carry over to farmers and other agricultural workers, an important voting bloc in North Carolina. “There's a good number of Democrats in rural areas." Guillory said, adding that the Clinton cam paign has courted that vote much more aggressively than Obama. The overwhelmingly white west ern rural areas are expected to fall more heavily to Clinton's camp than the eastern region, which has a sizable black population. The central Piedmont region is more competitive region because it lacks a predisposition toward either candidate, UNC political sci ence professor Thad Beyle said. Regardless of location, the econ omy will be the central issue. Manufacturing and agriculture have been hit hard, but the state has weathered the blows better than many others, largely because of expansion in other economic sectors. Guillory said. “This state has proved. I think, more resilient,” he said. “We're still growing.” The national recession is hitting the urban populations with sky rocketing gas anti food prices. The entire state, not just its economy, is immersed in a tremen dous transition. “A generation ago. a candidate would come to North Carolina and talk about tobacco.” Guillory said, | to'home but always standing ready, it's beinq able to State adding that candidates would por tray themselves as more conserva tive than they actually were. Now, with a rapidly evolv ing economy, a strong university system and an influx of people from Latin America and around the country. N.C. Democrats are becoming more mainstream. “The N.C. Democratic coali tion is not that different from the national Democratic coalition.” Guillory said. Across the country, Democrats are worried that the battle of words, unlikely to abate anytime soon, will irreparably damage the party's chances in the general election. However, Guillory said the cam paign has been good for the coun try and for the candidates. ‘lt's been bruising, but I think the country needed to know more about Obama. I think the coun try needed to think more deeply and get a better sense of Hillary Clinton,” he said. Contact the State E? National Editor at stntdesk(u unc.edu.
