Joe Biden compared the presidential race to a real race Thursday.
"Everyone talks about North Carolina being the capital of NASCAR," the Democratic vice presidential candidate told about 4,000 to 5,000 people at a nighttime rally at Meredith College. "Right now, our campaigns are trading paint. That means we are banging each other. What most worries me is that the McCain campaign is getting a little loose on the road out there."
The Delaware senator barnstormed by bus across the state, seeking to counter two recent visits by Republican Sarah Palin. He drew 1,200 people in Charlotte and 4,500 in Winston-Salem.
He argued that John McCain's campaign should stop running negative robocalls and took exception to Palin's recent comment that North Carolina was part of the "pro-American part of the country."
"There are heroes all over Amercia in every state and in every town," he said. "We all love this country." (N&O)
