Obama campaign staffers in Raleigh

A member of Barack Obama's campaign is in Raleigh.

Charlotte Observer reporter Jim Morrill writes on his Campaign Tracker blog that Obama's campaign will hold a fundraiser at noon in the offices of John Edwards' former legal partner, David Kirby. An aide tells Morrill that Kirby is in trial, however.

Morrill notes that Edwards is still holding off on endorsing either Obama or Hillary Clinton:

But no one has been closer to Edwards than Kirby. The two opened their law firm in 1993 and practiced until Edwards went to the U.S. Senate six years later. They're good friends and sit together at Carolina basbetball games.

Edwards may be holding out, but some of his colleagues have made a decision, Morrill argues.
