Edwards coming home Saturday
Thousands expected at NCSU rally

By JOHN FRANK AND BARBARA BARRETT, Staff Writers


Thousands of people from across the state are expected to gather Saturday afternoon as John Kerry and John Edwards bring the spectacle and fanfare of a national political rally to Raleigh.

The event is billed as a "welcome home" for Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth. The headliners are scheduled to appear at 4:30 p.m. on the campus of N.C. State University, Edwards' alma mater.

Organizers estimate 5,000 to 10,000 Democrats and others will attend the event in the Court of North Carolina, a quadrangle near the Bell Tower just off Hillsborough Street. They suggest getting passes early.

"It's the first event of its kind in North Carolina," said Schorr Johnson, spokesman for the N.C. Democratic Party.

The rally is the first joint appearance in North Carolina since Kerry selected Edwards on Tuesday as his vice presidential running mate. It is the final stop of a four-day sweep through five key states that began in Ohio and highlights North Carolina's prominence as a newly targeted state for Democrats' White House hopes.
