Meeker endorses Obama


Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker has endorsed Barack Obama.

"Hillary Clinton's a very good candidate," he told Dome. "But Barack is someone who is particularly outstanding in terms of bringing a new generation around to change things and get the country back on track."

Meeker did not attend a recent Raleigh rally with Michelle Obama because of previous commitments, but he said he expects to have an event with other Triangle mayors who have endorsed Obama before the May 6 primary.
