DURHAM — No big rallies this time.
The setting for what is expected to be Barack Obama's final campaign appearance was in the sedate setting of CREE, a company in the Research Triangle Park that is producing LED lights, Rob Christensen reports.
Reporters nearly outnumbered CREE employees in a manufacturing room where Obama was scheduled to speak within the hour. Obama was expected to talk about both the economy and the environment.
The location was set up by Michael Cucchiara, a Chapel Hill businessman, who had been a major financial backer of former Sen. John Edwards. Cucchiara switched to Obama shortly after Edwards withdrew from the race in January.
