McCrory and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal planned to hold a Saturday evening event at an ocean front camping and RV resort at Emerald Isle. The rally is the latest by McCrory in which he's brought in out-of-state GOP governors as his special guest.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Walter Dalton was scheduled Saturday night to speak at a Guilford County Democratic Party dinner and attend a fundraising dinner Sunday evening in High Point, sponsored by several North Carolina gay and lesbian community leaders.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, South Carolina's Nikki Haley and Wisconsin's Scott Walker all have traveled to North Carolina in the past three weeks for rallies and fundraisers for McCrory.
