RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ Barack Obama accused Republican rival John McCain on Wednesday of stooping to low tactics by labeling the Democrat a socialist. “I don’t know what’s next,” Obama, the presidential candidate, said at an outdoor rally in North Carolina. “By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” Obama turned to ridicule to rebut McCain’s daily references to Obama’s encounter with “Joe the Plumber.” —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
