(CNN) – North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley will endorse Hillary Clinton's White House bid, two sources close to the campaign tell CNN.
The endorsement could give the New York senator a boost in the state with one week to go until its crucial May 6 primary. Recent polling suggests Barack Obama currently holds a double-digit lead over Clinton there, though no polls have been released since Clinton’s win in Pennsylvania last week.
Easley is also a superdelegate - one of the party's nearly 800 insiders who will determine which candidate wins the Democratic nomination. Earlier Monday, the Obama campaign announced it had picked up its own superdelegate endorsement, New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman.

Do you hear it, Mr. Obama?
YES, SHE WILL! YES, SHE WILL! YES, SHE WILL!
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!
Another smart man!
Hillary '08
NOBama (If he wins the nomination, HRC supporters will vote for MCCain...believe it.)
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!
Governor you deserve Clinton- You both are alike– out of touch!
Obama will win NorthCarolina and Indiana.
Obama')*
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.
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.
Today the Gov of NC, tomorrow John Edwards!!!!
Go Hillary Go!!!
Why would anyone board a ship that is sinking?
Poor choice, Governor.
THANK YOU GOVERNOR
ONE SMART MAN
Well...Obama would still win the state anyways
Congratulations Govenor Easley! It is nice to see a person of substance and thoughtfulness, not to mention intelligence endorse the next President Hillary Clinton!
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".
What a`clown. Where as he been the past 15 months
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.
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.
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.
Wow I am so glad that there are some great people out there.... thank you
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.
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.
Wow.. I'm glad Richard Moore will be our next governor. What a let down Mr. Easley.
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!!!!!!!!
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.
Yes, go Hillary!
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!.
