CNN

Senator Clinton is on her way to pull the biggest upset in primary history. If Hillary wins N.C., there will be "no doubt" she is the most electable candidate. Hillary's momentum into next week's primaries is amazing; almost as amazing as her abiltity to connect with voters. Thank goodness we have a candidate for President that can bring America together, when we need it the most. Thanks Governor!

Someone in NC should vote for her.

Wow...did not think she stood a chance in NC. She still may not win, but to get close would be amazing. Edwards should endorse Clinton as well, especially since her Health Care and other plans are very similar to his.

Do it now cause she will lose the state big anyway.

I BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AT THIS POINT THAT IS BACKING THE CLINTONS(HILLARY AND BILL) OWE THEM FAVORS. OOH WELL CONGRTAULATIONS HILLARY EVEN THOUGH I'M AN OBAMA SUPPORTER.

Wow, what a mistake and a big mistake.. couldn't believe it... Are you there governor...may 13 2008

Congratulations hillary on getting the govenor easley on your side.It is amzing that if obama got it his supporters would be saying how great he is but no, when hillary gets it the threats of not voting for him again start.These obama supporters are the meanest, nasty ,divious people ever.look how they turned on the senior voters who didn't vote for obama.yeh, they are really going to bring america together aren't they?no!

Yes we can!!

I think we can.

Can't we?

What happened?!

No! We can't!!

gov how cann you endorse a liar and hypocrite unless that's what you are also??

"Excellent! And with Elizabeth Edwards already indicating she prefers Hillary's healthcare plan over Obama's, she and John won't be far behind Governor Easley."

and it won't mean a thing. he'll still win by double digits. an endorsement from my pet turtle would carry as much as weight as this guy.

Casey wasn't much help for Obama in Pennsylvania–I don't think Easley will be much help for Clinton.

I understand why the North carolina governor backed Hillary.
Hillary and husband clinton have succeeded in Bulling all the super delegades. They prefer not to endorse anybody, or endorse Obama and face what happened to Bill Richardson. This couple is the best bully i have never seen

That's nice but the hilliary supporters seem to dismiss the power of the african american voters so we shall see if the govenor has the power to sway african american voters ( i doubt it ) so lets go obama

obama 08

""THANK YOU for listening people of North Carolina.""

The white people anyways.

Probably Obama wanted to buy him but with his campaing money but he said no =) He went to the honest stronger side

waste of a superdelegate vote!

why join a losing Hillarious campaign! sad gov!

"Obama is the sleaziest Politician this country has ever seen."

It's utterly amazing how stupid the American public can be, that they can turn their back on the most obvious forms of hate and bigotry coming from their candidate, and then blame someone else. There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim, it's just naive, inflamatory rhetoric, which is becoming a staple of the Clinton campaign.

Thank you for electing my candidate.

McCain '08

Congratulations, Sen. Clinton and good for you, Gov. Easley. This is what you call political courage to do what you think is the right thing and not what is popular. It' a easy to jump on a bandwagon like we have seen other governors do but Gov. Easley has shown integrity and backbone. Hopefully, John Edwards will look at the will of the people he has advocated for and follow suit.

If the people that have elected you to office want Obama to be president, why would you endorse Billary? You must know where the body is buried!!!!

Nice pickup for Clinton. Shows that Obama supporters are fading and Hillary is the only hope for the Democrats in November. Also someone else look into how much money Barack Obama has given the superdelegates. He has contributed over $676.000 to them and Jeff Bingaman is one of the them. He got $4,200. Just who is the corrupt one in this election?????

an d the winner is: .... Cnn, Fox News, and contributors to the spin machine.

The American people lose when clintons win. just check the label

I am an Obama supporter, but I am also a North Carolinian. I don't see this as carrying much weight at all, with the exception of maybe a few more news clips for Clinton. Mike Easley is no Ed Rendell. He isn't visible in this state, he never makes any news and most North Carolinians probably couldn't recite his name if asked the governor of our state. Being completely honest and objective, this endorsement actually doesn't make very much if any difference. Congratulations to Sen. Clinton anyway.

The times, they are a-changin'!! All that's needed to complete the turn (now that everyone is seeing into Mr. Obama's closet through clear lenses and not race colored ones) is for John Edwards to come out for Hillary. Then, and only then, can the democrats look to the fall with confidence.

Easley, you can just imagine what your reelction chances are. I'm voting for Pat McCory (Charlotte mayor) to beat you out of office anyway.

How come when Obama got a Gov. last week, from OK a state which Clinton handily won, it was labeled as a Major Super Delegate. Now Gov. Easley's endorsement is major as well, even though he is leaving at the end of this year. Call it as it is CNN, be fair and honest something y'all haven't been this election cycle.

Hillary no matter what a drive to have your name added to the ballot in Nov. will be underway! Love it love it love it!! I am so glad I voted for someone who has not duped me and someone who is a fighter and not a talker.

he gets one she gets one – tit for tat, it really does not matter, matematically she can only get it now if she steals it! If that happens their will be anarchy! Dogs talking, cats flying.

Honestly its all over and she is takign the eniter dem party with her!

yay! smart choice governor =)

Hillary 08!

That socks.

We can't let this keep on going. he knows that endorsing clinton is not helping. no matter the spin on the clinton's lie machinery, she is history.

Do people who are bashing Gov. Easley that hes not gonna get elected for next term even know that hes in his last term?

GOOD CHOICE!!!!
TIDE IS TURNING. AND THIS IS CHANGE!!!!!

Thanks for deciding early. We are hoping all superdelegate to do the same thing soon. We were expection you to be winner side
Obama 08

What connection does he have and what does he owe them?

Interesting each candidate gets a superdelegate, Ms. Clinton gets a bifg write up and Mr. Obama gets an "oh by the way" . For those of you who are counting that is 2 for Ms. Clinton since her "huge win" in PA (where she only lost 21% of her support in the 6 weeks before the vote) and 6 superdelegates for Mr. Obama... oh by the way

He may need to join her staff because everyone else is leaving.

hillary and the republicans are behind this!

Finally, a Democrat with some common sense who knows Hillary is the best and most qualified candidate! If you want to win in November against the Republican's, Democrats had better wake up and back Hillary. She, not Obama, can and will beat McCain.

The governor doesn't want an anti-Obama advertisement from NC GOP aimed at him.

very courageous or political suicide?

To Grif, watch what you wish for. Hillary ALWAYS wins the debates with Obama. He just talks about change and stammers his way through any attacks on his character. Hillary is a fighter, articulate and knows what she is talking about. She has good answers/ideas about what she plans to do for our country when elected President. Obama just doesn't come across as strong like Hillary or prepared to answer questions about his plans for our country. He's too vague.

he's the only one in north carolina supporting clinton lol have him

Good Job!!! It's nice to know that your a logical man!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Easley's political endorsement will mean his downfall in a state that is clearly supporting Obama. I hope he's ready to move out of state after his term. Senator Obama has honesty, brilliance, and a willingness to tell us the truth. Clinton, however, has only the ability to manipulate the process by lying and coverups which will only diminish any legacy the Clinton's could once count on. Unfortunately, the media needs to keep the advertisers happy with ratings so anything can be considered news.

Great choice Governor. Hillary is better ready to be President than Obama.

I am from NC and who is Mike Easley? He is the governor who has towns buying water from each other, has the 2nd highest state gas tax in the US, and seem to get the school system back on track, even though we have a education state lottery. Our teachers pay is low and our kids are still going to school in trailers. He is a nobody trying to be a somebody. Didn't vote for him and thank god he is not running again because he would lose.

Thank you Governor – Hillary is the one that will switch back on the light that has gone out in America.

To all of the Obama supporters who don't like it –
As Crystal Gale would say – "Don't it turn your brown eyes green"!!

As far as Obama surprising Hillary with debating after all

Bring it on!!!!

Perhaps the good governor should have considered this, as noted today on the Daily Kos:

"Clinton is airing this advertisement in Indiana, bemoaning the closure of a defense contractor Magnequench's manufacturing plant in Valparaiso (she is also echoing this line in her stump speeches). Looking at the camera, she tells us she's upset that the 200 jobs that were sent to China, and that "now America's defense relies on Chinese spare parts." And then comes the kicker: She tells viewers that "George Bush could have stopped it, but he didn't."

Clinton is certainly right that it is a tragedy that 200 American jobs were killed in a corporate deal that also exported sensitive military technology to China. But she forgets to mention that it wasn't George Bush who was in the key position to stop it – it was Bill Clinton."

I guess she's hoping that the people of Indiana are too stupid to pick up on this. I'm hoping she's wrong.

one more for hillary. but the math isn't there for her. even if she wins the rest of the states left 60% and splits indiana and nc 50/50, according to the delegate count calculator, she would need 70%+ of the rest of the 305 superdelegates to reach the 2025 goal, whereas, obama would need only about 37% of the rest of the supers. it may be possible but unlikely. as of right now she is only slightly ahead in supers.

You will?

yes/ You will Clonton's slaves all over with debts and Disgrace.
That was is Your fate with Monsters.

Does Rush Limbaugh have something on him?

Good choice Governor-You know Hillary can do the job. Obama drop out so we can get to work and win in November.

Well, that settles it.... I know who I WILL NOT VOTE for as Governor.

Everyone else that is happy about this and doesn't live in NC.... oh well. He will lose a lot of support now because NC knows better than to fall for the Clinton lies.

We do not need pandering and "experience" here, we want people that have more than a fake smile and a cackle.

Wolf
Why you bring Governor on the show he speak so stupid and does not have any strait answer of any of your question.
He is so stupid keep on saying the Brock Husain Obama will bring the change I do not know what change Brock Husian Obama will bring with his religous adviser rev j Right.
NO OBAMA
NO OSAMA

Again the Obama people are crying racists when someone doesn't support their candidate. Governor Easley has the right and the obligation to support the candidate he thinks will win in November. Isn't it amazing that an Obama super delegate is enlightened and the Clinton Super Delegate is a bigot.

Thanks Governor Easley..... Hillary 08

Welllll Gov Easley, not that it matters to you, but you will not be getting my vote for any office again! How you can support someone corrupt like this, is beyond belief! I hope to God, that John Edwards does not follow you down that path. It goes to show you what a lying, piece of corruption gets for all her wiles. Make's me sick at heart, to think what we have come to, in these United States. I respect Senator Obama's decision NOT to debate her again, after all the crud she has thrown at him. HRC, please go home to wherever that may be. I dread the day "they" might get back into office, and continue all their lies and misdealings, misspeaks, cover-ups, etc. Race has nothing to do with this. It's all the baggage she has hauled around with her that no one seems to want to expose. If she gets the nomination, I should hope that McCain will dig it all up. I would never vote for her if she was the "last man standing!" Someone who would annihilate another country, is not someone we want in office as President.

Shame on You, Mike.

It is a shame to back Phony Dirty Clintons.

She will fool You also, no matter what This Monster promised.
Shame on You, Mike

Welcome to the losing team

Probably the Clintons have using their $109 Million made over the past 6 years to buy the governors in Pennsylvania, former governor in Indiana and now in North Carolina. People are smarter that what she thinks. The AMerican people know who tells the truth. It's time for people to come together & vote for Obama. It's time for Sen. Edwards to endorse Obama, because they both share a lot in common than Clintons.

What happened? Sen Bill Richardson are you going to say this is also not important. Well done Sen.

Go Hillary Go!!! The people are finally realizing that there is only speaches out there and nothing else.

If Clinton wins Indiana, wins or comes close a single digit lose in North Carolina what does that do to the Democratic Primary?
I believev that the superdelegates go to Hillary, with the knowledge that Obama can not win in November.

I agree with George !! Shame on The Governor... How about John Edwards???? I still think Obama will carry North Carolina. I know North Carolina will do the Right Thing and Vote for Obama !!! I also also agree with the Raleigh Young Voter, the Governor is in the Minority there !!!! GO OBAMA ! YOU CAN DO IT!! OBAMA 08

Ouch!

Talk about being out of touch ... this governor just sealed the fate of his political carrer. Why would you want to hop unto a sinking ship.

This movement cannot be stopped, sooner or later the Clintonistas will realize that this great nation is moving forward and embracing a brighter future.

OBAMA ' 08

It's over for Hillary. I would rather have someone honest (even if their wrong) versus someone who looks me in my face and lies. Hillary is a BIG LIER and I can never, ever trust what she's says. She lost me big time when she lied. How can people support dishonesty. Give me a break.

Obama '08

Excellent! And with Elizabeth Edwards already indicating she prefers Hillary's healthcare plan over Obama's, she and John won't be far behind Governor Easley.

I wonder what the Clinton's have on him.

NC is Obama Land. Time for Sen. Edwards to throw his support to Obama. If Sen. Edwards endorses Obama at this time, it will be a very good thing for the democrats.

THANK YOU for listening people of North Carolina.

Thank you Governor Easley for endorsing Hillary, a candidate whom he truly believes in to be our commander in chief. He could've gone the Richardson's road of betrayals but he chose not to... I am proud of you Governor Easley.

My hope is that Obama supporters turn out in droves. That is the best possible answer! We must put this away! I am getting frustrated with what seems like playing it safe or running out the clock.

Yay Hillary, Someone is thinking BIG in North Carolina. Let's keep this going, she will get this Country back to where we need to be.

GO HILLARY, keep pushing for that debate and ask Mr Obama why he voted for the Cheney Energy bill, we're paying 3.60 a gallon for gasoline, and he gave big oil huge tax breaks. I guess record profits weren't enough, what did big oil promise Obama, that question needs to be answered. Keep your politics of hope and change, it's a joke!

Good for her !!!
Now, instead of losing NC by a margin of 17 points next week, she will lose by a margin of 16 points, BIG DEAL!!! right?

Welcome to titanic my friend, I hope you know swimming !!!

Good for you Hillary! She won't leave too disgrace!

Go Obama! Next stop - John Edwards!

Go Hillary -she is our only choice if we want to win the general elections and truly make the changes that we need.

hillary will win NC. after reverend wrights speeches, americans are getting a clearer picture of obama. this man listened to this extreme rhetoric for over 2 decades. it is insulting for obama to think americans are so stupid that we think in over 20 years he never once heard any of this hateful rhetoric from rev. wright. how much of this ideology does obama really believe? you have to question the judgement of someone who would stay and listen to this venom!

To Sen Obama,

accpet this open debate offer from Sen Clinton to prove one last time that you just dont read pre-written-scripts, but have your own brain also to answer real-time questions.
If you run away from Clinton, McCain will get you in November. Do it now, or be a chicken.

yea for North Carolina at least some one has a functioning Brain in this state wake up people Obama only repeats what Hillary has been saying for six years at least she puts her hand over her heart when the star spangled banner is played that is more than what he does he has no platform he does not respect the flag and we are all gun clinging and religious clinging voters what does that make him?????

Well done Hillary you are the best person and in fact, your whole family is what this country needs right now....yes some people might not like it, but just as the parent has to dole out the discipline to the unruly children for their own good so the Clintons will have to to clean up after the Bush administration and the awful people that have been hating on them for months and months with no basis except their uncontrollable visceral outbursts............just think of how many awful journalists are going to have to hide under a rock for a while not to mention, what are we going to do with all those OBAMA banners. The only silver lining is that Obama has almost singlehandedly saved the advertising industry in this time of recession....the only problem is that he did it on false hopes and got money from the people who could least afford it
Susannah Jones

It's a political suicide for the governor, he will never win anymore. It's so sad he will realize this next time he runs for governor. Obama will win big in NC, and with a slight margin in IN

This is bad news for Obama, unfortunately. Look at how Ed Rendell of PA worked day and night to secure a Clinton win. I hope the same doesn't happen in NC. I hope the voters are able to win this for Obama. I thought Obama had NC in the bag until now. This governor's endorsement definitely poses a threat to the Obama campaign and now I'll be surprised if Obama wins NC. Bummer!

AMEN TO THAT!

About time someone has the good sense to rebuff Senator Obama and his lunatic base.

Hillary 2008!

Way to go Hillary! Thank you gov for realizing the true candidate of choice. Now if Obama would just stop running and dividing the party we could move on with the elections

He will regret it..forsure! Billary is due t speak any day now!!!

IT WON'T MATTER. IF YOU SPLIT THE REMAINING PLEDGED DELEGATES 50/50(OBAMA IS FAVORED TO WIN ABOUT 60% OF THEM ANYWAY) THEN OBAMA WOULD NEED ABOUT 79 OF THE REMAINING 300 SUPERDELEGATES FOR THE NOMINATION.

OH BY THE WAY IS ANYONE OUT THERE FROM SALISBURY NC? I LIVED THERE AS A 3 YR OLD. NC IS A FANTASTIC STATE!!

The more and more I read everybody's posts it just makes me realize that we have already lost in November. Hillary Clinton has done a great job of dividing us. She will never be ahead, and don't try to throw MI and FL in there, there's no possible way to be fair while factoring those two in. She should have quit a while ago. There's was a time I would have voted for whoever won the nomination, but that's certainly not the case now.

I believe that the people of North Carolina have the intelligence to vote correctly no matter what their loser Gov says. Too bad he is hooking up with the crowd that will throw him under the bus the first chance they get.

GObama 08

My reaction was summed up by James carville's reaction on CNN. I almost simultaneously did the same gesture of pumping my fist.

Go Hillary. On a different note, I heard Bill Clinton speak the other day here in Portland. Whatever you freaks have to say, THAT guy is brilliant. So stop focuing on his zipper and focus on his brain and give him credit for the good he has done this country.

So you guys are releasing an unofficial endorsement for Clinton from a "source" on the ticker and Micheal Moore has endorsed Obama openly and no news spot at all? Micheal Moore was the one who put health care on the forefront of the agenda for the overall presidential race! What an outrage.

When are some people going to start to realize that Hillary Clinton is the one to be te leader of the Democrates.

If Obama get in as the "BIG GUY", be ready for at least four more years of a Prsident the same as the one that has been in for the past eight years.
Is that what you want ?

Clinton has a way, way, way better chance of beating MCain than Obama does.

The tide is turning!!!!!

FRANK GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. HRC WAS ON THE BALLOT FOR FLA. AND MICH. YOUR LITTLE BOY O.B. IS THE ONE THAT TOOK HIS NAME OFF. HRC IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WANTS FLA. AND MICH. TO FEEL LIKE THEY STILL ARE PART OF THE U.S.A. NOT LIKE O.B. WHO DONT GIVE A -T. HE DIDN'T CARE FOR NEW ORLEANS EITHER. YOUR VOTES IS ALL HE WANTS. A REAL GOOD CHOICE FOR A LEADER. WHAT A JOKE.

I live in N.C. and initially voted for Easley. I can tell you, that if Hillary wins N.C., it won't be because of his endorsement. He is no longer a political force and consider by most to be a joke. In fact, his endorsement might prove hurt her. My guess is it will have no effect.

Thank you GOV. Easley for endose HillaryClinton for the presidency. You have make the right choice. Go Team Hillary! Together we can help Hillary win it all.

This is one dumb politician. NC is turning democratic b/c blacks from the north are moving there is droves. Easley we will not forget this. You better hope she gets in the White House and give you a position b/c we will stay home the next time you run....LOL
That's why John Edwards has not endorsed her yet stupid. He does not want to piss off the blacks in NC. He's gonna take your job!

I understand why the North carolina governor backed Hillary.
Hillary and husband clinton have succeeded in Bulling all the super delegades. They prefer not to endorse anybody, or endorse Obama and face what happened to Bill Richardson. This couple is the best bully i have never seen

haha...

It's so much fun to see Obama fans get depressed...

Best endorsement money can buy!!

Awesome, now just wait when Edwards endorses Hillary.
And the nomination goes to Hillary Clinton!!

Glad to see the spine Governor. Paging John Edwards. Go CLINTON!!

No you won't jimmy!

dont agree but atleast he made it know instead of sitting on his butt

Hopefully, this endorsement will help North Carolina residents see that Hillary is the better choice. She is a strong democratic candidate and the best challenger to take on McCain in the general election.

A slimer of hope for HRC in a sea of desperate moves.

THANK YOU!!!!
Go Hillary 2008

Young RaleighVoter – We can yell your young with a comment like that!

Actually, CNN, TWO polls have been released out of North Carolina since Pennsylvania.

Both show Obama LOSING ground there. He went from a 25 point lead a week and a half ago to a 10/12 point lead now.

Why do I know more than CNN???

Go Hillary!

Finally the snakeoil salesman is revealed. 20yrs of a fanatical pastor who baptized your kids, married you and you mean to tell me you don't share his views??! Don't take Americans for fools. NOBAMA NOWAY!

Another Governor looking for a job behind the beltway next year but I doubt Obama will hire him.

Hillary and husband clinton have succeeded in Bulling all the super delegades. They prefer not to endorse anybody, or endorse Obama and face what happened to Bill Richardson. This couple is the best bully i have never seen

I think that this is an important endorsement. First, it goes against the polls in North Carolina, which means that the Governor is thinking past this primary to what he thinks is best for the country. That is stand up politics on his part. Second, he is thinking past this primary and looking at what he needs to win in a contest against the Republicans, which is what all those who vote in this election need to think about. I just don't think Obama can win.

CNN–Why isnt this a HEADLINE??? When Obama gets an endorsement it's IN BIG BOLD LETTERS!

Hopefully the voters of NC will follow the lead of their Governor!

If Obama gets the nomination, I will use a WRITE IN VOTE and vote for the ONLY persons who should be President – - HILLARY!

Hillary in 08.

Good job Hillary only 300 more to go. At this rate you will be President in about 100 years.

They're two of the same!!1 Obama believe us in NC, you didn't want this ENDORSEMENT!!! 9 news organizations in NC are sueing Easley and accusing him and his administration of violating the state public records law by deleting,destroyingand concealing e-mails sent to and from his office. Read more @ wral.com. Type in this clowns name Mike Easley!! Another reason to vote for OBAMA '08

Hillary/Edwards 08 all the way.

MARIE. YOUR JUST ANOTHER JEALOUS LITTLE GIRL, LIKE THE REST OF YOU CLINTON HATERS. SHOULD BE PROUD OF A WOMAN LEADER, BUT YOUR DISRESPECTFULL , HATER AND A LITTLE JEALOUS PUP. ALL YOU YOUNG NOWDAYS THAT SUPPORT O.B. AND HATE ON THE CLINTONS ARE SHOWING THIS COUNTRY WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS. I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU LOOSER'S. GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY.

Thank you Governor..Go Hillary...

I dont think Edwards will go against his wife and endorse Obama. She wanted Universal health care to be implemented.

She can't beat Barack by HERSELF!!! She is 'strong' ONLY with GOVERNOR's machine behind her ... It's time to see the REAL Clinton – without the machine!! How many votes they will give her? How many fabricated results we should see before she is kicked out of the race?
Hey CNN, you should check also OTHER polls, published today and see that Obama leads Clinton with 9 points, and he also leads McCain with 7, and she is behind McCain by 4 points.. Don't give us only polls in Clinton's favor... Look at Rasmussen Tracking today!!!!! APRIL 28.

Yeah....Vote for Hillary, it is a NO-BRAINER!

How come Candy Crowley is not mentioning that Gov. Mike Easley has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton???? until Wolf Blitzer enquired about it from Candy Crowley??? Well we have a giant professional in Mr. Schneider,when it comes to Real politik! Good job Mr. Schneider,for the unbiased journalism.Keep it up.This is on a verbatim report by Ms Crowley,on CNN at about 6.05pm on 4/28/08!!

Hopefully he changes his mind before any real announcement is made, don't see how anyone can throw their support behind her when she is behind in every voting category and lies to the american ppl.

We've seen this type of endorsement play out time and time again. Obviously the governor does not have too many followers in the State House because just recently 43 house reps. and other prominent people in the State has endorsed Senator Barack Obama. So I don't think this has too much weight. He is part of the Clinton machine.

This is GREAT NEWS for our gal Hillary! This governor knows she's the better candidate!

If she can take Indiana AND NC, well, that's more than any of us dared hope for!

Wow wow wow!!

You go girl!!

Excellent choice!

This is huge, and finally the tide is turning for Sen Clinton and Sen Obama's hope & change message not sitting with people anymore. His speech is old, used many times over and over again and boring now. Where is his inspirational message now?? Where are all those young people who were always behind him in all those speeches?

By the way, HOPE and CHANGE are not policies and it may actually do him good to debate Sen Clinton before May 6th.

Poor Mikey is confused!

Perhaps Easley is tired of his political career?

I suppose he can do whatever he wants, Obama will still win the nomination.

This is the example for too good to be true.

Hey YOU FAIL!

I heard this past weekend that John Edwards was sitting this one out. He is not going to endorse either Hillary or Barack.

After Rev. Wright defined that "change" has something to do with matters of race, there will be a lot more people reconsidering Obama.

BTW, Obama has no more upside since he already has captured over 90% of the black vote. If Hillary wins the nomination, she will get a lot of the black vote back. Afterall, it's not like black voters will support McCain in any meaningful numbers. On the flipside, a significant portion of Hillary's white vote will vote McCain. Sorry Obama supports, but the truth hurts.

Hillary or McCain '08

How much governor how much $$$$$$$$$$

I am so tired of people thinking obama can't win the blue collar worker can someone just call it like it is he can't win the racist vote. Everyone scrathing their head trying to figure out how does he do it. It can't be done there will be racist people until the day we die. Obama was never going to get that vote he could have fire shooting out of his butt and somepeople still will not vote for him. We cant worry about those people they will always vote their BITTERNESS not their situation. So lets talk to the people that are willing to listen. Yes the young and educated they will make the intelligent vote.
Obama 08

I think the governor of North Carolina is chicken. Look what the Republicans are doing with their Wright ad in that state. He's afraid that he might be part of that ad. That just chicken. Pick a candidate that is losing - wow!

If the Clintons really love working people, they could have gone back to those good working people in Arkansas instead of New York to be close to Wall Street.

There is an old saying, " watch those that run with with the rabbits but buck with the hounds".

Songbird

Hahaha ... I love Obama supporters. I love how when someone endorses Obama, it's because they've made a serious, studied, carefully deliberate move. On the other hand, when someone endorses Sen. Clinton, they're either "OLD TIME POLITICIANS", "a clown", "being blackmailed", and other more horrible, things.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. I hope Obama can take pride in his supporters. The Obama campaign, aka Dukakis/McGovern 2008. Ride with pride, Sen. Obama, ride with pride.

She will not make a good presidentt. She lies too much.
It's time for change we can believe in!!! Obama '08

he is not running for re-election. duhhh might as well NOT burn bridges with the clintons since he isn't running for office

EXCELLENTHE............

another elitist.

.
After watching Rev. Wrights speech to the NAACP. I can see why Obama enjoyed his sermons. I am a middle aged white police officer and I found Rev. Wrights speech to be brilliant, insightfull and inspiring. I urge everone to find this speech and listen to it in it's entirety. It will change your mind about this man and turn you off to the intolerant comments of Hillary, McCain, Limbaugh and Beck.

THis is great news.

Liz, you are wrong, total delegate count is what wins the primary. Elected delegates are 80% and super delegates are 20%. This is the system as we have it now. Elected delegates cannot win the election unless they alone make up the 50 percent majority needed to win.

Thank you Governor Easley!

Clinton is experienced, for the people, and a fighter.

Hillary Clinton 08

Guess who is losing the governship next election?

Folks turn on the news, go to some of the other news channels. Rev Wright has sunk the SS Barrack, and the flea's are going to start jumping off quickly. Man this guy has said to much, way to much for even Obama to distance himself from.

Great news! Congratulations to Hillary!
I am sure if we havea new poll from NC, we will see Obama lead sliding and may be even Hillary ahead ! Anyways...I am sure she will WIN the nomination in the end and WIN the presidency!
Can't wait to see Madam President Hillary Clinton
Hillary 2008

Hillary all the way .......................08.........................................

A Governor that has this right.

just saying- you got that right. Obama is related to Bush. Either way it goes it's some family dynasty. I just have to remember which side of my brain to use when I cling to my guns, religion and have antipathy for those who are not like me.

Thank-you to the governor of North Carolina god bless you, I hope Hillary wins the nomination I am uneasy listening to Obama and Rev. Wright the people who follow him are scary to I had a run in with them at a public library near my home in Pa. I had my grandaughter with me she is only six years old, she was pretty scared, I think the people following him are like a cult some say Obama has an aura around him what kind of a reason is that to vote for someone and where will they be in November to vote, I think the positions they take are more important than all fluff and stuff. I also wanted to say I vacation in the Outer Banks what a beutiful place.

Congratulations, Hillary! Keep on fighting - we are right here behind you. Thank you so much for keeping a determined stance and not giving up. Our country will thank you in January. (I thank you now, but I think it will take the rest of the Obama-philes and the GOP a few extra months ... )

thanks governor obama cant win over mccain thanks in the name of my family

That doesn't surprise me "Mike Easley" has no backbone and it's just a matter of time before his time is up..... Being that I come from NC this endorsement will not affect the outcome b/c he's not that well respected... He has no clout what so ever.....

If this is true its just illogical.

Does he think he can change anything for Hillary?

She has already lost.

This is a huge endorsement by Governor Easley!! This will definitely help Hillary closing the gap or even winning North Carolina!! The tide is definitely turning!

Go Hillary!!

Yes, You made the right choice, Hilary is the only one that can beat Mccain and we desperately need a democrat in the White House this term to get us back on the road to recovery like her husband did after the first Bush mess.

Clinton 2008

Some of these "posters" should be writing for a comedy show – you call this political debate – hah – aren't you all tired of spinning around like tops? Ravenous to leap on whatever the latest media blather offers you – whatever side you're on – you all have an answer for every challenge – if only real life were perfect like that!

Best piece of advice no one asked for – take a deep breath and really (like in for real) research exactly what the candidate will likely try and accomplish – the one "you are for" .

Reading these hateful, childish, and very very devisive posts is all the proof one needs to make that point – just think it's "you people" who are going to get the government you voted for!

A concerned neighbor!

Great Choice!!!!!

Clinton -08

Easley is not all that popular, this is from a Charlotte newspaper article:
"Easley's hopes of improving his administration's credibility, as welcome as it is here in the last nine months of his administration, must start with a candid recognition that his office doesn't have that much credibility to improve"

""Well the Governor might be supporting Hillary, but the Mayors from Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Pittsboro are supporting Obama!!!""

So are both Democratic candidates vying to be the next governor of North Carolina!

Another elitist politician backing the rich, powerfull and elite Clintons. Yay yay, you go Girl.

Thanks Governor. Now we need John and Elizabeth to do the right thing and endorse Hillary. Shame on you CNN for having to mention Obama in this article. Your bias is really showing!!!!

THANK YOU. Finally a man that is not afraid to stand up and say who he knows will be the best person for the job.

I hope that whatever happens people keep to their senses and Democrats will vote for other Democrats. I hope everyone can see how serious this is and to hold vendettas against either candidate and vote for Republicans out of spite is sheer stupidity, immaturity and insanity. Both candidates will strengthen our country!

Democrat for 08!

I wonder how many Clintonites who just finished condemning the New Mexico senator for going against the popular will in the other thread by endorsing Hillary will be silent, if not level praise, on this one.

THE TIDE HAS TURNED.HILLARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

What a mistake governor, what a mistake...

Marie, get over it. You are such a typical Obama supporter. Angry and irrational and bitter. he endorsed her because he has a brain and can see what is going on.

There went that guy's shot for the Vice Presidency.

Thank goodness, somebody in NC is attuned to the smart choice people are doing which is to vote for an electable candidate- HILLARY! Everything will make sense now, thank you governor!

North Carolina, wake up, you still have a chance to vote for the smart choice– HILLARY

She can't beat Barack by HERSELF!!! She is 'strong' ONLY with GOVERNOR's machine behind her ... It's time to see the REAL Clinton – without the machine!! How many votes they will give her? How many fabricated results we should see before she is kicked out of the race?

funny how CNN's ticker shows this endorsement, but has failed to mention the fact that Obama now has been endorsed by more Senators than Hillary

Congratulations to Sen. Clinton. We will win back the WH from the gop this fall!!!

And yes I also congratulated Sen. Obama on his SD endorsement. It's up to CNN to post these comments.

The Obama-bots are going to attack him. One of the commenters above is really looking for dirt. How sad.. I say let Rev. Wright speak over and over, he will seal the fate of Obama. Go Rev. Wright , America needs you. Maybe he is more of an American then we thought. He knows that Obama is nothing more then your average politician, WINK, WINK

I am a republican and have been pretty loyal in the past. I have to admit that Obama has inspired me, and that's not easy to do. I hate the fighting and underhandedness of what's going on. Even with all the mess surrounding Obama right now I still think he has something special. If he should lose I will have to vote for McCain, A CLINTON by any name is completely unacceptable. The Clinton's think they are the democtatic party and have pushed their weight around long enough!

You folks are kidding right?

This man "had" to endorse Hillary. He was petrified of what would happen when James Carville attacked him, had he voted for Barack. Not everyone can stand up to James Carville's horse manure! This man (JC) is really scary.

Does anyone know what the situation is with the Super Delegates who have voted to date? How many for Hillary, how many for Barack?

Great job Mr. Easley! Thank you so much for seeing past the hype and going for the tried and true. I'm an African-American, and I'm for Hillary Clinton. What does that tell you?

A Pinto....is the only thing you can say is something you saw on the front page of the National Inquirer? I saw on the front page of the National Inquirer yesterday that Michelle Obama walked out on O because of cheating. Do you see ME with no ammunition here except some sleazy rag article? Grow up!.

Yes, go Hillary!

A.Pinto: People have been trying for years to pin some sordid sort of affair on Hillary and always come up empty handed. Right now, many want to know about the relationship between Obama and Larry Sinclair. That's one tasty tidbit that has not been explored in depth yet. But, if Obama becomes the nominee, the Reps will uncover that relationship in a New York minute.

Thank you so much Governor. You made the right choice. Maybe the tide will also turn in North Carolina and Hillary Clinton will be our nominee. She so well deserves it. I am supporting her 100%. Way to go Senator Clinton. Keep fighting. We want you in the White House. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

Wow.. I'm glad Richard Moore will be our next governor. What a let down Mr. Easley.

DECK CHAIR ANYBODY SHUT UP. YOUR JUST A O.B. SUPPORTER AND CLINTON HATER, AND A LITTLE PEOPLE. THE GOV. KNOWS WHO IS THE BEST CANIDATE FOR OUR LEADER, JUST LIKE THE U.S. MILITARY DOES.YOU YOUNG PEOPLE MAY BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE BUT NOT WISE ENOUGH. YOU VOTE FOR A CLOSED BOOK ,,AND THAT IS STUPID. HRC HAS HER BOOK OF LIFE OPENED FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. SHE DONT HAVE TO HIDE ANYTHING. YOU HATERS ARE WHAT MAKE THIS RACE REALLY DISGUSTING. O.B. HAS A SAYING FOR YOU. WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WONT HURT YOU. YOU YOUNG PEOPLE SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE THAT OUT? I DOUBT IT. GO HRC.

Thanks Gov. Eastey you made the right choice.

Gov. Bingaman you made the wrong choice. Wonder what pressure he was under to support Obama.

Let's go for experience.

Wow I am so glad that there are some great people out there.... thank you

Thank you so much Gov. Mike Easley! Thankfully, our superdelegates are seeing the light as well. Hillary 2008! Hey, I can even see a Clinton/Easley ticket. That's nice for a change.

The Governor has just been intimidated by the Republican Party’s decision to run the Rev. Wright add connecting his challengers to Obama. He just mistakenly got scared to his political downfall because it shows he’s a puppet. The overwhelming reasonable citizens of North Carolina who know better than be scared off the best hope that has come along after such a long time will surprise the Governor.

Gorvenor Mike Easley! Congratulations! Smart talented experienced Political proffessionals of your calibre,know what they are talking about.Those who think this is a blip in the radar,are wrong ! It is you indepenent conviction and the vast know how you are exuding to the Americans that,Hillary is the right candidate to lead America to the safe harbor-a landing of security,prosperity and unity to all Americans.Thank you Gorvenor! You have a great position in America of today and future.

What a`clown. Where as he been the past 15 months

For your information – I haven't seen any ads that Easley is running for Governor again. Do the research yourselves. I do, because the pundits only say what will boost their ratings. I'll research for myself only, not the "talking heads".

Congratulations Govenor Easley! It is nice to see a person of substance and thoughtfulness, not to mention intelligence endorse the next President Hillary Clinton!

Well...Obama would still win the state anyways

THANK YOU GOVERNOR

ONE SMART MAN

Why would anyone board a ship that is sinking?

Poor choice, Governor.

Today the Gov of NC, tomorrow John Edwards!!!!

Go Hillary Go!!!

I am glad he is supporting him...cause when the state votes for Obama...he will not get re-elected. Also, 2 polls came out since the Pennsylvania primary with Obama leading...Get the story correct ..Get the story correct.

YES,YES,YES..PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO WAKE UP FROM THEIR COMAS....IT JUST PROVES HILLARY IS THE BETTER CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT AND BARACK NEEDS TO BE V.P AND THEN IN 8 YRS BECOME PRESIDENT..I'M GLAD PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO COME TO THEIR SENSES...OBAMA GOOD AND I LIKE HIM ALOT,BUT HILLARY WOULD BE A BETTER PRESIDENT TO GET THE THINGS DONE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

Governor you deserve Clinton- You both are alike– out of touch!
Obama will win NorthCarolina and Indiana.

Obama')*

Irrelevant. Obama is still going to whoop you in NC Hillary.

Get out already, the nomination is over Hillary, you lost. You can stop just trying to feed the insatiable appetite of your ego now.

OBAMA 08!

Another smart man!

Hillary '08

NOBama (If he wins the nomination, HRC supporters will vote for MCCain...believe it.)

What a dumb decision!

Hillary is DISHONEST AND UNTRUSTWORTHY! Hillary is the least favorable candidate! To support Clinton in this POINTLESS race is to help Republicans to win in November!

Soon Easley will regrete this decision!

Do you hear it, Mr. Obama?

YES, SHE WILL! YES, SHE WILL! YES, SHE WILL!

Where are all the Hillary supporters saying "how dare you support a candidate different than the people of your state."

Poor choice Governor.
After all the negativity, doesn't America deserve better?

This Country was founded on truth and honesty and not on spin and lies.

GOD Bless America.

OBAMA '08 & '12

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!

DROP OUT HILLARY. YOUR LOSING!

what a clown

Political Suicide?
Possibly. Seeing as how his state will probably be heavily in Obama's column come May 7th. Still, it's his right.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make us proud AGAIN!

Oh and did I mention she lacks sincerity? Listen to her laugh, watch her smile. Bobble head Bobble head. ABC anybody but Clinton.

hillary,

you can have the governor. obama will still crush you in NC. that is all.

All I can say is case : BC304174
lasuperiorcourt.org

Only two reasons a SuperD gets behind Clinton.
1. A simple suck-up, wants the favor returned and knows Clinton will play that game over time, whereas Obama will not.
2. Racism

All-in-all, I am surprised and a bit knocked back from my life-long pro-US perspective. The negative racial undertones in the white community in general and the politicians, specifically, is worse than I thought it ever really was.

Add another one to the list, y'all.

CLINTON '08!

He is free to endorse whoever he chooses, but not choosing to endorse the candidate that will most likely win your state by double digits is politically unwise. But it is his decision to make.

I doubt this will help. It appears that so far the people of NC have some brains. I hope IN gets smart.

It's too late! Despites this endorsement, Obama win.
Go OBAMA 08!

Thank you Gov. Easley. You know she will fight for us and be the better president because she got experience.

I quess Gov. Bingaman was blackmailed by Obama or maybe it was heavy pressure from him. You see Obama supporters we can say the same thing. Remember he is not perfect.

It will not help. Does Ruth Ann Minner, John Baldacci, Martin O Malley ring a bell. They are all Governors that backed Clinton and Obama won there state. Easley is on his way out due to being term limited so I guess he is looking for a position in her white house.

Sad. Please explain to me what Hillary's qualifications are? 1. Married to Bill, 2. Senator with mediocre accomplishments, 3. Her way or highway. Please explain her appeal. She is mean spirited, divisive and has no grasp of how to work with people. She nods her head like a bobble head doll. Please explain her appeal. I choose Obama or McCain over her.

A Governor no less!!!!! If he can do for her, what Rendell did, there is hope for a really great nominee, to win in November.

Excellent news! Gov. Easley thank you for doing the right thing. Gov. Easley has faith in Hillary's nomination to beat McCain in November.

YES YES YES..Welcome to the winning Team Sir!!!

OBAMA...DROP OUT!!!

Doubt that will change any minds

especially the African American votes

But on the other hand, good for her.

Still wondering why i dont see anything about neither endorsements that Obama has won on Sunday and Today

Hmmmmm

Wow. Big endorsement at a critical time.

Obama is going to win NC by 15+ points next tuesday so this is an interesting endorsement. Unlike the Clintonites I won't whine and say he is a judas or traitor ,just a guy doing what he thinks is right. Looks like we have a superdelegate wash for the day so not a huge deal.

He must be a smart man!!

Go Hillary!!

Wow! I read a lot of comments on the various news sources online and the supporters of Hillary are the most mean- spirited. Monkey see monkey do obviously! The endorsement by the governor of NC is predictable.

I guess Hillary promised him a role in her cabinet...pathetic...

This is information that the American people NEED to know; this is VITAL to ALL voters. The Clintons are scandalous. There is a case pending RIGHT NOW in CA, it’s a real, legit case Peter Paul vs Clinton. For the skeptics, the case number is : BC304174
lasuperiorcourt.org

Easley? Looking for the VP spot?

At least another superdelegate will have spoken and helped us move closer to getting this nomination process wrapped up. I look forward to the races in Guam, Indiana...and North Carolina in May.

It is time for us to have a meaningful debate on who are the presidential candidates and what they stand for. There is a growing debate on Sen. Clintons alleged affair with her aid Ms. Huma Abedin. I would like to know whether it is true or not. This is fundamental to our values as Americans. There is nothing wrong with it. But I think the American people deserve to know the truth.

Thank you Governor. You made the RIGHT CHOICE! GO HILLARY!!!!!

IT IS OBVIOUS HE IS APART OF THE OLD POLITICAL MACHINE. ANY SUPERDELEGATE THAT THROW THEIR SUPPORT BEHIND HILLARY AT THIS POINT IS CALLING IN OLD FAVORS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY HAVE THE PARTIES BEST INTREST AT HEART. THEY OWE THE CLINTONS BIG AND THEY HAVE TO PAY UP BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KNOW SHE WILL NOT WIN, NC OR THE ELECTION. SO ITMUST BE THAT I WILL PREFER THAT THEN TO THINK THEY ARE RACIST

Well the Governor might be supporting Hillary, but the Mayors from Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Pittsboro are supporting Obama!!!

Well this is good stuff, still I hope Hillary is aware. Obama just may catch Her off Guard about Debate's.. He may still accept.. Be ready!!

who cares

As the NC primary approaches, the endorsement of Hillary by Governor Easley is, definitely, a PLUS for the Hillary campaign! This is an additional evidence that Hillary has the political momentum.

I also hope that Easley's endorsement will synergize with John Edwards' endorsement of Hillary!

Congratulations, Hillary Clinton :] !!

Now we need about 200/300 more to do the same thing :]]]

Thank you for your courage and foresight Governor Easley. With Hillary we have a chance in November of taking back the White House. With Obama we have none. Now if Elizabeth and John Edwards follows suit, maybe we take both Indiana and NC for Hillary. Hopefully the rest of the superdelegates will follow your lead and we will finally have a nominee we can support in the General Election.

Governor, you are out of touch and irrelevant.

Way to go Governor, America respects your decision even though the polls show Hillary behind in your state. This is a true man and not a Politician like another Governor(Richardson) we know all to well.

The Tide Is Turning..

Go Hillary

White people resent and fear sucessful and intelligent black people. Its very sad!
I think men also resent successful women. Fortunately for Clinton women make up a larger percentage of the population than blacks so more people resent him than resent her.

People are starting to see thru the false Obama. Wright sealed it today. His message of change has a new meaning and we can all see the light.

Clinton 08

You are coming to a sinking ship
poor choice

This man knows who the best candidate is for the run to the White House. I was reading a newspaper this weekend, and a columnist said that all black people should vote for Obama because he was black. The writer also said that he liked Hillary Clinton and felt she has good plans for the presidency. So, if we put race totally aside, then Hillary is the best candidate. Super delegates should put race aside and step forward. Vote Hillary!

congrats soon to be president hillary rodham clinton.

you democrats are comical. As a republican there is nothing more I enjoy than reading these boards and watching you guys rip each other apart.

It would be nice to know the story behind this.$$$$$$$$$ no doubt.We will see if the Ed Randell effect works .

There is a growing concern on Sen. Clinton's alleged affair with her aid Ms. Huma Abedin. It was on tabloids over the weekend and in the internet all over. I would like to know whether it is true or not. This is fundamental to her values and what she stands for. There is nothing wrong with it. But I think the American people should to know the truth.

Well the Governer might be supporting Hillary, but the Mayor of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Pittsboro are all supporting Obama!!!!

This should help Hillary in NC just like Rendell did in PA. It's good some people are starting to see the light. With Rev. Not So Wright stealing the headlines from Obama all week and the endorsement by Easley, there is not telling what can happen. If she pulls it close in NC then it's over for NObama.

Considering the fact that Easley is crooked as a right turn, it does not surprise me in the least that he would endorse Hillary. As they say, birds of a feather flock together.

This is very exciting.

Thats a horrible choice...
You should go with who is going to win... and at this rate there is NO CHANCE for Clinton to over come Obama... she would have to win by a HUGE margin in the remaining contests and win at least half of the remaining superdelegates...
Not going to happen.

Yes, that's the only solid and sound choice for the democrats!
Hillary will beat McCain. No more yes we can but yes we will!

There are two kinds of of politicians and they aren't just Democrats and Republicans. There are politicians that believe the American people have it in them to make a more perfect union and the other that believes America is made up of ignoramuses with the EQ of a 13 yr old boy. Clearly, with support for a race-baiter and instigator who would not only throw black folks under the bus but her own party to win, Gov. Easley belongs to the set that doesn't think very much of the American people. BUT HEY, Roger Waters does!!

Finally someone who is not only educated but intelligent!

All I can say is EXCELLENT.

Hillary Clinton 2008!

Well done Governor. Just like most of us you know that Obama is a weak candidate that would be trashed by the republicans while Clinton has strength, knowledge and experience.

The people are waking up. We need a strong liberal in there fighting for the people. The more we learn about Obama, the more truths are exposed. No wonder he is running from an honest, open debate. But no hiding.

Thanks to CNN for even handed reporting on this one. If Hillary just has equal exposure, she will totally rock this thing.

Go Hillary.

If we give Wright the stage... no one else has to say or DO anything at all.

Hate always backfires on the person who spews it.

They Kicked Hillary down and labeled her a racist... now they get to see it all come back around on them.

Obama is the sleaziest Politician this country has ever seen.

Poor choice! You had the opportunity to become part of Real Change, but instead of looking forward to the future, you're looking backward to the past to the person who doesn't even honor her own "Signature" on a Pledge that the FL and MI primary votes will not count. Maybe instead of a "misspeak", this time it's a "miswrite". And yet this is who you are backing, someone who would burn the down? Well, this also tells quite a bit about you. I feel sorry for you.

<<<<>>>>

I bet Sen Edwards will wait until this Friday to throw his support behind Obama. Most of the "surprise endorsements" have come on a Friday so Hillary has the weekend to cry about it.

Good for Clinton.

However, its a little too late. She cannot catch up in ELECTED DELEGATES before the race is over.

ELECTED DELEGATES is what wins elections, just ask Al Gore who lost to g.w. bush after Gore won the popular vote.

We need to start working on winning in the Fall.

Congrats Sen. Clinton; I'm sure you need this. Obama will still win. That's all.

Wonderful!

Go, Hillary!

Wonderful! People are realizing we will be better off with Bill and Hillary than we would be with Obama and preacher Wright.

If Obama is related to Bush and Cheney... wouldn't he just be continuing the Bush family dynesty?

This guy is is basically saying that he does not want to get elected next term!

If Hillary can not salvage her swiftboated candidacy, the country will pay the price for going with the divisive uniter, the lying honest politician, the negative practices of the positive preacher, and the same ole man of change.

Great choice Gov Easley!

Obama is about just words and he cannot even debate...

Hillary is the one who has what it takes to be our President

Hillary 08!
Yes she will!!!

He's a rat if he's supporting Hillary. No matter, there's plenty of room on Hillary's Titantic voyage.

Bring another deck chair boys, Mike Easley needs a seat.

Obama wil crash his own bandwagon- even hypocritical politicians have a hard time being ALL things to ALL people.

Sooner or later... the true person comes through the golden veneer.

Obama can not win.

Many, many thanks Gov. Easley. Now onto the Obama supporters to spin this as unimportant.

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!! I bet you it's blackmail or HEAVY Pressure from the Clintons!!!!!!!

Don't sell your soul!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08!

Congratulations Senator Clinton. I congratulate everyone whether I support them are not.
