North Carolina Fieldhands Organizing for Al's Visit?

[Ryan Shirey]

Greetings all. I've just happily read the new post over at the Field that has Al coming down to NC after his Virginia stay. I'm hoping this thread might be a place for NC Fieldhands to come up with some ideas about how to make that trip as organized, pleasant, and successful as possible. I'll confess right off the bat that I'm a recent transplant to NC--still living amidst some boxes in fact--so I'm not as up-to-date as I should be on what's happening out here in terms of voter registration, canvassing, and all that good stuff. That's why I'm hoping we can share some information here, educate ourselves, and do what we can to make a difference this fall.

I'm in Winston-Salem, by the way, and I think the Triad could be an important area for Obama given my admittedly limited experience so far. What about you all? Any thoughts on where our efforts (and Al's) can make the most difference to turn NC blue this year?
