Presidential candidate Barack Obama has given his support to Mayor Bill Bell, a high-profile endorsement that could be a factor in Tuesday’s face-off between Bell and challenger Thomas Stith III.
The news came the same day it was announced Bell had endorsed Obama for president.
“Barack Obama believes Mayor Bell has served Durham well, and he is encouraging Durham residents to turn out to the polls for him next week,” said Obama representative Ben Labolt.

I didn’t go — it was too crowded for me — but I have heard two widely different opinions about the event. One person said it “was okay” and “he wasn’t very good until the end of his speech”… and the other person said it was “the single best speech he had ever heard” and that “everything he said was exactly right for Durham, North Carolina and the country.”
I’d be interested in knowing if anyone here went and what they thought about it.
