43 North Carolina Mayors endorse OBAMA today (From Iching--out of posts)

[ScarletSniper]

In a sign of Senator Obama’s broad, statewide organization, the Obama campaign today announced the endorsement of 43 North Carolina mayors, mayors pro tem, and former mayors, representing cities large and small, from Raleigh to Roper. To encourage North Carolinians to vote early, more than a dozen of these mayors will be voting early today at 1 p.m. at their local One Stop Early Voting locations.

"As a mayor, I’m on the front lines of local economic development," said Mayor Bill Bell of Durham. "We need a president who will work with us to solve the problems we face, help working Americans succeed, and usher in a new era of prosperity."

“I’m honored to have the support of so many mayors from across North Carolina who are committed to working hard to change America,” said Senator Obama. “These mayors understand what leadership is, and how important it is to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to make change happen for our working families and our communities. Their support is incredibly important to this campaign – and I look forward to working with them to build a stronger economy where Main Street thrives, not just Wall Street.”

You can register and vote at once.

11. Every major city's current mayor except Charlotte's

and a lot of small towns too-- Windsor and Ahoskie are where my family roots are so am glad to see them. Here in Virginia, the endorsements of scores of mayors was the first sign that Obama would win big. May this be an omen of a similar outcome in NC!
