The Obama campaign in North Carolina has announced that from this Sunday to Tuesday, music legend (and Tar Heel State native) James Taylor will be performing free concerts for the campaign in Charlotte, Asheville, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Wilmington.
"This does not seem like a big deal unless you are from North Carolina," an Obama supporter in state tells First Read. "This guy is legend down here and will be a big draw. The concerts are tied to, and will be focused on, promoting early vote."
Meanwhile, the McCain campaign's own rock star -- Sarah Palin -- will be campaigning in North Carolina on Thursday.
