Obama endorses Bell
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2007-11-01 14:47
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama has endorsed Durham Mayor Bill Bell — and vice versa.
The Illinois senator announced his endorsement of Bell's re-election campaign came the same day as his visit to N.C. Central University, which is expected to draw major crowds, Matt Dees reports.
"Barack Obama believes Mayor Bell has served Durham well, and he is encouraging Durham residents to turn out to the polls for him next week," said Obama representative Ben Labolt.
The endorsement echoes Bell's 2001 campaign, when former President Bill Clinton recorded a pro-Bell phone message that was sent primarily to black households in Durham.
That propelled Bell to the mayor's chair over popular incumbent Nick Tennyson.
