Obama and Jimmy Carter Finish Last as Poorist Presidents ?

Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win North Carolina since Jimmy Carter in 1976. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain by just 0.4 percentage points in a state that favored President George W. Bush's re-election by 12 percentage points four years earlier. The Democratic nominee's aggressive campaign — and volunteers from bordering South Carolina — helped turn North Carolina in Obama's favor.

As Democrats' fortunes have sunk, though, Obama's trip to North Carolina reflects a nod to a middle-class vacation — in contrast to last year's trips to Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and his native Hawaii.

Asheville, a city of about 73,000 residents, is home to the Vanderbilt family's Biltmore Estate, a tourist draw, along with scores of art galleries and restaurants.
