Superstars headed to North Carolina

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are sending "superstars" to North Carolina.

The San Francisco Chronicle writes that Clinton's consultant, Averell "Ace" Smith, and Obama's consultant, Craig Schirmer, are California operatives with impressive track records.

Smith led Clinton's successful efforts in the California and Texas primaries, while Schirmer helped Obama win in South Carolina and Wisconsin.

Smith's plan: "A real aggressive campaign" aimed at highlighting Clinton's readiness "to lead on day One" and outreach to voters in every precinct.

Schirmer's: Helping voters get to know Obama and getting them to the polls. "We're a big believer in strong grassroots operations."

Based on those rather vague remarks, Dome expects to see Clinton heading to rural areas, particularly around military bases, and Obama concentrating on the urban areas where GOTV can turn out big numbers.

I wonder if Obama, after weighing in of issues of race nationally, will have anything to say about Wright's imminent expulsion and his charges of racism?
