Biden to visit N.C. Thursday


Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden's campaign says the candidate plans a Thursday tour of three North Carolina cities.

The Delaware senator will visit the Charlotte area, Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem and Meredith College in Raleigh, the Associated Press reports.

Details of the stops in the Charlotte area haven't been announced.

Biden last visited the state in September, when he appeared with party presidential nominee Barack Obama in Greensboro.

Obama and Biden have consistently campaigned in the state, and their presence has forced Republican rival John McCain to dispatch resources to North Carolina. Both Obama and McCain were in North Carolina this past weekend.
