President Obama heads to North Carolina “the morning after Super Tuesday,” AP writes. “He's talking about the economy and jobs at a Daimler truck manufacturing plant in Mount Holly, near Charlotte. It's his first visit to a foreign automaker, but bears a familiar theme. The White House says the president will highlight the government's fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.”
Obama was the first Democrat to carry the Tarheel state since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
“In the Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary, President Obama won 57% of the vote but four other candidates combined for 43% of the vote, including anti-abortion activist Randall Terry who received 18%, the AP reports,” Political Wire notes. “‘According to Democratic Party rules, Terry is eligible for a delegate since he won more than 15% of the statewide vote.’”
