Marshall Adame has endorsed Barack Obama.

The Democratic candidate for the Third Congressional seat held by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones wrote in a post on The Daily Kos and BlueNC that he is backing Obama.

"Senator Obama, to me, represents a kind of renaissance in politics where trust, truth and fidelity to principle will once again grow and bloom in our White House in Washington DC," he writes. 

Adame faces Morehead City meteorologist Craig Weber in the primary. 

Marshall Adame has brought up impeachment.

In a post on BlueNC and the Daily Kos, the Democratic Congressional candidate raises a series of rhetorical questions about U.S. policy on Iraq, the Guantanamo prison, torture, rendition and secret prisons overseas, asking "Where was the outrage?"

When we all learned about the Secret prisons, where we took people to be tortured and that our President and Vice President had approved them; Why was our President not impeached? (bold his)

Later in the post, he says the GOP has failed to "put America First!"

"The Republican Party has betrayed all Americans regardless of party affiliation," he writes.

The ramped-up rhetoric and the mention of impeachment come as Adame faces a Democratic primary challenge from Morehead City meteorologist Craig Weber.

The winner of that primary will face Republican Rep. Walter Jones or former Onslow County commissioner Joe McLaughlin.
