Sen. Clinton does "get it", she understands the challenges and how to rise to meet them. to Quote a great poet:
Rise Hillary Rise!

so great i hopeful so for john edwards who support to hillary soon.

I can say this; I do not want someone in office who "understands" my situation, I want someone in office who will freaking ACT! So she goes to DC and says I "understand" and that's about all you will get folks! I think she is LYING AGAIN. Looser queen of america.

Peter Paul Vs. Clinton, Nafta, $800,000 Columbian trade…..enough said. We as a country have to do better, we have to progress, we have to become enlightened. The Clintons would be a backslide for the country. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from a pansy himself, that's an easy observation to make.

OBAMA '08

Well, he has nothing to lose; but he is a loser. His endorsement won't put her in the White House. Obama supporters are smarter than him.

O8AMA

Hillary, will you please stop talking about Rocky, already!?!?

What with all this turmoil in the world and our nation, shouldn't we be talking about non-fictional issues that matter to the people that can elect you?

No surprise! Much like Ed Randell he has been a corrupt nut in the Clinton machine for many any years! Better watch it though the election fraud case filed in California against Sen Clinton is already being set up so that Ed Randell can take the fall for the Clinton's! It is just a matter of time they will throw you under the bus just like everyone else

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Here come the "Easley must be a racist" innuendo from the Obama supporters. They've been playing the race card so frequently there just has to be more than 52 in that deck.

Curious why its not racist when only single digits of blacks vote for Hillary but it must be racially driven when less than 50% of whites vote for Obama?

The article says it all :

"Easley is the second superdelegate from North Carolina to back Clinton. Six North Carolina superdelegates have endorsed Obama."

NC supports Obama.

Welcome aboard, Governor! You're on the winning team!

President Hillary Clinton 2008/2012

He wouldn't win reelection anyway. He was safe to endorse her because he, like she, is a has been.

No, she's more like Mike Tyson (after prison) ———> Nuts

HILLARY 08

HILLARY 08

HILLARY 08

HILLAR 08

NOBAMA YOU AND YOUR CAMPAIGN PLAYED THE RACE CARD

ON THE CLINTONS IN JAN. AND NOW REV. WRIGHT IS PLAYING

IT ON YOU….ITS CALLED….

KHARMA

Excellent choice…I hope other super delegates are paying attention.

yes old girl does kind of look like a pit bull dog

Gov. Easley would know all about pansies….

Mike Easley is a crook and so is his Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue. It's a good thing he's not up for re-electio ncause many of us in NC would not be voting for him.

She is a fighter who knows which wheel to grease to get the wagon moving in the right direction. We all have hope for a brighter tomorrow, but know it will take courage to get through today. Hillary has the courage and the intestinal fortitude to get it done…

Obama:
Misses once, then shoots again and swishes it. Understates his abilities and doesn't boast. Doesn't make accusations about his opponent. Makes no pretense about connection to Indiana or North Carolina. Signs ball but suggests the signature doesn't matter, then forgets about it. Moves on to next experience. Wise voters recognize his judgment and skill and his understated but genuine strength.

Hillary:
Misses, but claims she is more qualified because she was there when her husband made it, and saw him shoot it a thousand times. Then will accuse opponent of not having what it takes because he missed his shot (falsely implying he didn't make his second). Also will claim she grew up in a basketball family with relatives from Indiana and North Carolina. Will make a similar statement about the unimportance of the signature on the ball, then will later work out a backroom deal with an overseas broker to sell the ball and make a huge illegal profit. Refers back to same incident over and over of how her opponent missed, claiming it means so much. Unwise voters are thrilled with her "strength" and "experience".

Hillary You Look Fabulous!! WOW…you look so rested, you must be on cloud 9 with all the polls and pundits turning your way. It was bound to happen. When someone doesn't quit and keeps on plugging along you finally get through. We are all getting so tired of Obama's smoke screens and lies, I for one never believed them and finally a lot of others are seeing the truth. You are the one that can lead this nation forward, you already look presidential! We Love You Hillary!!!

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and a little boy are on a plane. The pilot runs out of the cockpit and states the plane has lost all power and is going to crash. The pilot states there are only three parachutes grabs one and jumps out. Hillary says, Women and children first! grabs one and jumps. Barack says to the little boy to take the last parachute and jump. The little boy says, no Mr. Obama we both have a parachute, that blonde lady grabbed my backpack!

Hillary You Look Fabulous!! WOW…you look so rested, you must be on cloud 9 with all the polls and pundits turning your way. It was bound to happen.

Give me a break. In the movie Rocky loses….She will lose too.

. . . .Everyone else in NC has endorsed Senator Obama.

Yes We Can.

Well let's see if she can take on rocky like the russian in the movie. This endorsement is just a favor of the clintons.

did he get his $$$$ from the Clintons yet???!!!!

Finally! Come on people, I can understand why people are not the biggest fan of Hillary, but I want a democrat in the White House next year!!

Dukakis = Gore = Kerry = Obama = great guys…

but all losers!!! We need a democrat that can WIN!

It will end after NC. Senator Clinton is already working on earmarks for her return to NY after she departs the race.

Obama 08!!!!

Another sniper fire…
Still she is far behind. She needs 150 delegates

SHE DOESN'T GET IT….WINNING MORE SEATS IN RED AND PURPLE STATES GIVES THE MAJORITY NEEDED TO ENACT CHANGE. IF SHE IS THE NOMINEE THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN..IT WILL BE A REPEAT OF BILL CLINTON LOSING THE MAJORITY BY IGNORING THOSE STATES. FOLKS WHO EASLEY BRINGS WITH HIM TODAY WILL DEFECT TO MCCAIN TOMORROW

Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Mr. Governor.

What a smart guy,
.

Thank God Madam President is becoming a reality. Took a long time but it is worth all the trouble.

Hillary is going to win North Carolina and Indiana and nomination and finally the General Election.

Go Madam President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! '08

did he get his $$$$ from the Clintons yet??????

Easley is correct! Although, Clinton is more like a wandering Godzilla, smashing, crashing and destroying the Democratic party as she goes!
What a shambles she will leave behind but determined you bet. Now we all know why she stuck by Bill after Monica.. her love for the White House and the power she had was worth more than anything to her. She had her eye on the "prize" all along.
Her manipulating, power hungry antics will get her close but she will never sit as president in the White House.
Obama 08

The big question is…… where is John Edwards? I think BOTH Clinton and Obama should offer Edwards a major role in their administration if they are elected… he's be the BEST Att. General this country has seen is many many years!

Big deal. Who is this guy?

Hilary probaly promised him the vp nod when she tries to still the nominiation she stil will not win north carolina

OMG…look at the jealousy on this page. It's ok guys. Cling to Obama, who is btw the past in this season, and we will watch our hero take back the WH.

Finally, somebody smart that can see the light!

Go HILLARY'08

She will still lose the state despite the endorsement….

Oh, she sure does; and she is punching the heck out of the Democrats' chances winning the White House this year!

I was surprised by the comments on the previous article regarding this topic. What was surprising was the number of people who said they would not vote for him when he ran for Governor again? They are not political suavy about their own state and its term limits. Must be all those smart Obama-bots? LMAO

Good for her. Im not a supporter but she deserves an endorsment. But Barack just picked up a superdelegate in Kentucky.

We hope the good people of beautiful North Carolina will vote for Hillary Clinton.

Why?

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

Why not Obama?

Lacks experiece, slammed the people of Pennsylvania, and says, 'Change', but does not elaborate on what the change is.

Hillary 08

when Hillary Steals the nom. from Obama ,
he Must run as Independent.

obama 2008

She certainly is more masculine than Obama!

Jobs plus green jobs, healthcare for everyone, ending the war, bringing down the price of gas, getting affordable education, helping people stay in their homes and end forclosing trend, getting Al Qaeda and capturing Bin Laden. fixing the economy and eliminating the deficit. There someone you can count on and beleive. Go Hillary

You go girl.

So proud of you, and Thank you for being so persistent.

Florida loves you Hillary!

GO Hillary! The tide is turning!

I think Democrats need to seriously consider a ticket of Clinton and Obama ….together…this
might be a good way to overcome the devisiveness that seems so persistent now…and give the ticket a "double whammy" .

I HOPE THE SUPER DELEGATES LOOK LONG AND HARD BEFORE CASTING THEIR VOTES - IF CLINTON IS NOT THE NOMINEE I BET THEIR WILL BE A REP IN THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN - OBAMA IS A LOT OF TALK AND NOTHING MORE - HE HAS A BIG EGO AND NOT MUCH SUBSTANCE - I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - SO SUPER DELEGATES PLEASE CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE OPTIONS BEFORE MAKING A CHOICE - VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD AND NOT YOUR HEART.

Makes Rocky look like a pansy? Will the same Dems who jumped on Schwarzenegger for using the term 'girlie men' and accused him of being homophobic jump on Gov. Easley now?

Bill gave him a check.

Obama supporters:

Your guy can't win. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

What a pointless endorsement. She will still lose the state by a bigger margin than Obama lost in Pennsylvania. She would rather be endorsed by someone who matters in North Carolina, like Ric Flair, Michael Jordan, or Dale Jr. LOL

Clinton gets another big endorsement. While endorsements don't always mean much of anything, I think this one will go a long way to increasing her appealability to the voters of NC. Hillary's the only one who can fix this country anyway, so he jumped on the right ship!!

Well at least someone is awake.

Hopefully NC will wake up like Pennsylvania did and she can cut the lead.

BTW, we haven't seen a recent poll in NC.

YES SHE WILL!

EARMARKS

Clinton has no chance of winning unless she uses corrupt Delegates to stael the nomination and promise them cash donations and jobs in the white house. That means your vote did not count at all.

The Governor backing her has been promised a job in the white house, that you can bank on.

They are crooks.

Will Bill be able to keep his pants on in the whitehouse.

He did'nt as President

Thank you Gov Easley for your support of
Sen Clinton..

$2.2 BILLION

The best endorsement that Hillary has gotten is Rev. Wright's endorsement of Obama. Every time that man opens his mouth he drives voters who aren't members of the "black church" from Obama to Clinton.

Not only does Hillary get the nod form North Carolina's governor, she also has received the endorsement of radio host Howard Stern!

Let's elect someone with a bit more credibility than another Clinton.

Fifty year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

$2.2 Billion of our money

This is HILARIOUS!!!

Rocky was smart but he was a good guy. He had heart.
Hillary is an intellegent ruthless bull dog who doesn't give a second thought to the people she hurts whether they've helped her or not. She has no ethics. Just ask Peter Paul…

Thank God, someone in the country still has brains to endorse Clinton!

I thought NC was NObamas state?? Hmm howcome the Gov is endorsing Clinton??
Just more confirmation that Nobama is indeed a crook and all banter!

God Bless Hillary ALL THE WAY!!!

Obama, step down NOW!!!

Obama , the house of cards is falling

I VOTED FOR OBAMA

BASED ON WHAT I KNOW NOW

I WANT MY VOTE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WANT TO MY VOTE TO GO TO HILLARY NOW

AND IT WILL GO TO HILLARY OR MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER NOW

Is Hillary the only candidate who understands the "challenges" we face? Is that the best answer he could give. Now I know it's not about choosing the best candidate for the job, but what's in it for me, right Easley?

$2,2 billion in taxpayer dollars for special programs

Obama will get an endorsement from Rep.Ben Chandler (Kentucky) later this day. This means Clinton leads with around 20 supers.

Yes, she truly is a fighter. The type of fighter that would start more wars and easily trigger nuke standoffs. Yes, we definitely need her after 8 years of bush fighting.

Clinton doesn't get the respect she so deserves. I have talked to people that have had a change of heart in the message of change and hope. if the party doesn't see that they they will not be a WIN in Novebmer.

i will Never vote for a 2nd liar in the W.H. never, ever

Clintons= G. Bush The Third

Hillary Clinton is a liar. Young American men and WOMEN have gone to Iraq and served 3-4 tours of duty for a war she enthusiastically voted for- a war for absolutely nothing. They have seen their friends die, they have been disfigured, they have been crippled and many have sacrificed their own lives for this government and for this country. These brave soldiers have seen Hillary Clinton throw her hair back, proudly smirk and state that she misspoke about sniper fire in Bosnia…Hillary Clinton is a Coward. Hillary Clinton is a Liar. Hillary Clinton is a Disgrace.

To Matrix:
Funny! Thanks for the laugh.

OBAMA 08

Take from taxpayers by hrc

Its a long worthwile wait for the final outcome next tuesday to determine wne who will inevitably be the Democratic nominee,of Barrack Obama.This will end the long campaign ,Hilary will have to concede defeat and exit graciously,i hope.
What maths is she up to,dont the superdelegates know,what hypocrisy,again and again.
Between Mc Bush and Barrack,come November,Barrack will win a thumping victory.
Eventually all will be united to fight the recession which is already here

compared with Obama's far - left radical views and dubious advisors (Rezko,Wright, Ayers), Hillary is actually starting to look good

Sorrry Gov. you 're backing a sheer loser—is not important??????……………..

"It's time for somebody to be in the White House who understands the challenges we face in this country," Easley said at a rally in Raleigh with Clinton at his side.

That would be Senator Obama. Hillary has had 35 years. Things are
still screwed up. The definition of insanity is to keep electing the same people and expecting different results. It takes CHANGE to fix this country.

Yes We Can.
Obama 08.

What a load of crap

As a North Carolinian, I am sorry that the Governor wasted his endorsement. The will of the people here is overwhelmingly with Obama, as he will probably win by 15 points at least. Our African-American population, of which I am a part, sees this as the same old Southern politics. This governor wasn't going to endorse an African-American candidate no matter what the people say.

Go Obama!! Take North Carolina, then Indiana and then the White House. We love you here in NC!!

Thank You Govenor Easley!!

Great endorsement for Hillary. She truly is a champion and I hope she wins here in NC. She is the strongest opponent to go against McCain in November and she is the best candidate to be the democratic nominee.

This should help her immensely.

Carl Rove already wrote the article in the Wall Street Times and Washington post.

Clinton has no chance of winning, period.

Funny how one little win and the Hillary Fanatics are all posting comments. Yet when Obama win's they dissapear. Just as Clinton will do if elected.

If Clinton does not win, she will lose her senate position.

The people of New York now know her and what she is like and they will not re-elect her.

Clinton is beat

HRC = PORK

People are starting to see that Senator Obama is inexperienced and unelectable. I URGE the senators and congresspeople to pull the blindfold off of their eyes and back Hillary!

It gives me chills when I say and hear those three words: YES SHE CAN!!!

I want a democratic white house too — but what do you think the Republicans are going to do to Obama if he wins? Even his old buddy Wright seems hell-bent on detroying him, Obama is an empty shirt, and empty shirts can be intimidated by anyone. He speaks well of Regan and the Republicans, but cozies up to fanatic anti-semites like Wright and takes help from people like Bill Ayers. Does he even have any ideas what these people stand for?

Read ROLLING STONE!!!

Hillary is proving herself to be tough, persistent, and knowledgeable in world affairs. Obama on the other hand, doesn't even want to participate in another debate with Hillary because he's afraid it might affect his image. What a wimp. The choice is obvious of who we need as leader for this country.

Congratulations to Clinton

LET'S GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else annoyed that Edwads did not endorse anyone?!?! I think it is so selfish!!! its all about himself in trying to advance his political career….WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTRY!!! ENDORSE!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulation Gov on showing you have a brain. Soon Obama will officially be out and then Michelle will simply be married to "the fraud" and not "the answer". HILLARY 08 all the way! Go cry yourself to sleep you little baby Obama!!!!

Sen.Clinton is running ahead now, so SEn Obama is now the underdog.

It is a good test as to how he will bounce back. If he can bounce now, he will surely win the Nov. elections. If not, then SEn.Clinton must be on the ticket as the candidate.

The republicans voting for her are just doing it to create "Operations Chaos" and not for real. No republican will vote for the clintons in a big way to make a difference.

so SEn.clintonn must remember that she cannot win without SEn.Obama support. If she keeps going negative then no Obama supporter ( including me) will vote for her. I will vote for SEn.McCain in that case.

I don't need healthcare and I do better from a tax viewpoint under a Republican. If she steals the nomination … I will vote for McCain !!!

No one is going to have enough votes at the end, and you'll see the super delegates swing towards hillary since she's got most of them already. Obama has lost the attention of many of his supporters, and he's not gaining it back… its over for him. He could be a good vice president and then in 2016 he'd be a shoe in for president. That would be the dream ticket.

hillary is a fighter I guess she had to learn so she could fihgt the women off of Bill

People need to get the facts straight about the race card. Bill Clinton played it and as always places his mistakes on others. Just as Hillary does all the time. They blame everyone but themselves for their errors. Regardsless, the Democrats have successfully divided the party. Obama brought unity and Clinton brought division.

as a fellow North Carolinian, i'm proud to see the leadership of NC recognizes the true chararcteristics of Hillary and Obama and has chosen to endorse Hillary for President of The United States. With this key endorsement of the NC Governor along with General Shelton, the former Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff of the US Military (the highest ranking miliary official), who is from NC - we should expect to see Hillary end up on top in NC and Indiana and eventually in the White House. These key endorsements are important because they prove she is a true leader that has the ability to run our country and our military on day one. With latest polls showing Hillary dominating McCain and McCain and Obama in a dead heat - these are all important developments that superdelegates are watching closely

No Clinton. Easly is a wimp. always was, always will be. never was a help for Edwards so i don't see how he will help Clinton. Take it from an NC resident. Clinton loses here big time.

NO MORE CLINTONS = NO MORE BUSHES = NO MORE POLITICS AS USUAL. JUST IMAGINE BILL BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH NOTHING TO DO!

Congratulations to all the Senator Clinton supporters on getting another endorsement in your column. We all need to get away from the nastiness and let this thing play out in the polls and come together as a party and defeat the Republicans.

Whenever Clinton gets an endorsement, it's a "big" endorsement. A 9-point win is a "big" win. But yet her campaign is saying that if Obama only wins by 10 points in N.C., they will consider it a "victory". What is the deal with the media and Clinton? You all don't owe her anything! And by the way, the governer is only endorsing her now because he has nothing at stake—he can't run for another term anyway.

edit : make that: Hillary is more of a man?

NORTH CAROLINA FOR HILLARY!
Hillary, a choice based on record, credentials…a job well suited for this candidate!!!

Well, governor, don't forget to include in your endorsement that HIllary's big backer from Howard School of Divinity is the one who orchestrated, organized, and invited Rev. Wright to the Press Club fiasco the day before Obama's Philadelphia speech. You'll have to go to Politico and Huffington Post for details, but it is in the New York Times today.

Let's see if CNN has the guts to cover this and explain how Rev. Wright got so much press from them this weekend.

Hillary - look at the delegate count - you are like an outdoor wind spinner - just spinning in the wind! There is no way you can catch Barack unless you plan to finally become the Republican you are turning into. You need to win 70% of all the delegates in the final primaries and have the popular vote and pledge delegates get our votes over turned. Please gracefully bow out of the race after NC and IN. The party needs unity and that is not certainly your strong point.

I am amazed at how obnoxious, condascending, and spiteful Obama's supporters are. It goes way beyond a "cult of personality"…it's so sad to see the elitist Dems behave this way.

Who thinks that Obama can actually win this fall? The democratic superdelegates will have to vote for Clinton, because after all, like Dean said, they should vote for the one that's more electable. That's were the women who makes Rocky look like a pansy.

HILLARY 08

I respect Hillary's stick-to-it . . . in what has largely been a media & Hollywood Hype campaign to get her to drop out so Obama can get a walk to the nomination.

The events of the last two weeks illustrate that Obama is not up to the rough & tough world of presidential politics.

The Rev. Wright affair is the likely template of the kind of characters that would accompany a "President" Obama into the White House.

Yes, there is a Wimp Factor and John McCain is hoping that Obama gives him the chance to prove it.

Keep flying to your strengths Hillary!

Obama is no longer a viable candidate-and we'll prove it again!

On to November when we take on McCain-and win!

Congratulations! You look Great!

Hillary 08

Rocky was a loser too, but hillary is THE BIGGEST LOSER !

No man needs a woman to fight for him

"ROCKY" … I WOULD LIKE TO THROW A ROCK AT HER !!!

Easley will help with the over 50 white group. Most people who pay any attention to NC politics know he has been a hands-off, marginally effective governor. But, he has wrecked a NASCAR, so some people think postively of that, for some strange reason.

What gives with the "pansy" reference, a little shallow don't you think?

Michelle, The pastor is a former pastor of a church in the town of Clinton, NY. it has nothing to do with The Clintons.
Let's not sling untruths here.

OBama 08

I like many people have made up our minds already to support Barack Obama and endorsments really don't have much of an affect unless it is Al Gore, Pelosi, Carter, Dean, Clyburn or so on. I listen to these endorsments!

If Obama wins:

Obama 2008!!!!!

if Clinton 'wins'

McCain 2008 — Obama 2012

Can't overturn the will of the people ! IT will be ugly if they overturn, Do the MATH no way for her to win ulessThey Can't overturn the will of the people ! Then what has she won ??? overturn my volt and in no way will volt for her , now is win the most delegates she has my volt

Koolaid drinkers, they have TERM LIMIT in North Carolina, Easley has been elected TWICE as governor of his state. I thought you folks are "educated"?

Easley was elected governor of NC in 2000 and 2004, he has restored fiscal responsibilities in NC , increase investment in education and infrastructures. He has created JOBS for people of his state at the same time improving their educational system. He is very popular in his own state.

His endorsement of Hillary is NO BRAINER! Governor Easley wanted a MOVER in the Whitehouse NOT a talker.

"Easley, a two term governor who is unable to run for re-election because of term limits"

Ah, a decision NOT based on politics but based on a gut feeling unlike Obama's endorsements which were likey the result of political pressure!

UMMM! How much did he get for this endorsement? Did she offer him a seat in her cabinet? Well, we have to just see who gets the last laugh, don't we Hillary. After all, only Hillary and her followers are still in denial that Obama is the front runner and will win. Trust me, the superdelegates are much more wise than this idiot who probably don't have much to loose.

"I've been accused of being persistent, and down right aggravating…but this lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy," Easley said.

Just what we need, a stubborn, aggravating person in the White House.

BTW folks, Rocky lost…

Hillary is a con artist she know she can't win and when his state comes over to Obama's column he will have to switch his alliance

Anyway, she needs to win 70% of the votes on the rest of the states.

No additional endorsements will help Hillary.

What about Hillary 2007 TAX return that was supposed to be released 2 days after Pennsylvania primary?

well, she finally got someone to endorse her, good for her. Obama has gotten six endorsements from NC.

Obama 08, and 12

California Superior Court Judge Aurelio N. Munoz ruled Paul's legal team can begin seeking depositions from a host of big names – including Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton – that allegedly were witnesses to an effort by the Clintons and top Democratic leaders to extract millions of dollars from Paul in illegal donations and then cover it up.

How ironic that the Obama supporters who are clamoring for a new civility in politics always resort to personal attacks and name-calling when their candidate is threatened. So much for HOPE and CHANGE!

Well Nobama. Todays Tracking poll from Rasmussen shows Obama ahead with 49% against 41% against Hillary. Both lead against Mccain but Obama leads with 46% to 44% and Hillary with 45% to 44%. Obama has a favorable rating which is better than both Mccain and Hillary. Obama favorable rating is actually the best since April 10th. Hillarys is as bad as it was pre PA. Obama is the leader and he has a much better chance against Mccain and most people know this. Obama only nead to win NC and avoid a huge loss in Indiana and it will all be over.

And in the news today: 2.3 BILLION DOLLARS that Sen Clinton has in earmarks.

What are earmarks??

What are earmarks?

Earmarks are spending projects slipped into legislation without attribution to any congressional member, without peer or public review, and usually specific to one locale, but paid for by taxpayers everywhere.

So we are ALL paying for her pet special projects which do not require public review??

She has the largest earmark total of all senators - 3 times the largest amount from last year.

And that is fiscal responsibility???

GO HILLARY!!! Let's turn this around!

Rocky is not a flower so Easley is either saying Rocky was gay, or that Hillary is more of a man?

I believe I'm offended either way. So now Hillary and her supporters are gay bashing and man bashing.

I'm glad that Clinton scored a big nomination, but this is just going overboard.

Congratulations Senator Clinton.

I've just recently decided between Clinton and Obama. I guess I had to settle something in my own mind before making a decision.

I've wondered for years why half the people are against Hillary Clinton. People have even castigated HER for Bill's terrible treatment of her. But she stood strong.

I now think I 'get it'. Senator Clinton is tough as nails. I think many people, both men and women, are totally turned off by a strong woman. I think I was one of those people. I think I have just begun to outgrow that prejudice, and as I do, I see how comfortable Hillary is with her own strength.

I don't see one tenth of that strenth in Senator Obama. He's a nice guy. I can see playing hoops with him. But I don't see any of the strength in him that is required to be president.

Consider a tense stand-off between our president and Vladmir Putin (still in charge in Russia). I can see Senator Clinton matching Putin word for word, step for step. I'm sorry but I can't see Senator Obama matching Putin. Putin is tough. Now that I see Obama, he's like a Hamlet — to do or not to do. He can't even handle Reverand Wright. How could Obama possibly handle Putin.

I think all Democrats have to really consider situations like this before casting their votes. I don't consider Clinton to be the perfect candidate. But as much as I like him, I now think that Obama is a total mismatch for the job of president.

Obama wants to BUY the SUPERDELAGATES, and promises NANCY PELOSI the VP SPOT!

NOW I HAVE 2 GOOD REASONS TO VOTE McCAIN OVER OBAMA.

from a moderate democrate,

The governor is, without doubt, one of the Smartest in North Carolina. He has made the point that he is not one of those easily swayed by rhetoric without substance. There is no need to hang on Obama with all the negatives pilling on him. He will be the surest way for Democrats to lose to McCain in November. The Republicans are not going to have mercy on Obama and not confront him with all the problems he now has. And if any Democrat feels it won't matter in November, I tell that Democrat to take the head out of the sand and look at the sun…Its real, and up there in the sky.

Look CNN is trying there best to put all negative stuff against Obama in the long run Obama going to win, Obama is going to NC this governor do no speak for all of NC

Operation Chaos continues…way to go Rush!!!!

Obama is still going to win it…. Sorry Hillary hopefuls… it's not happening for you this election.

Obama 08

The governor has seen the light!

I see an exciting upset on the horizon in NC!

Go Hillary!

"Makes Rocky look like a pansy" - that's just another way of saying she IS A MONSTER! Back during the Lewinsky scandal in the White House, she and Bill made a big show of inviting "spiritual advisors" to the White House to help them save their marriage. Guess who one of the advisors was? REVEREND WRIGHT! What do all you Hillary supporters think about that? Is that not the ultimate in hypocrisy? Why isn't the National Inquirer mentality mainstream media reporting on that one?

Or rather she makes Satan look like a sissy in a skirt…..

Ha hahahahaha you bloggers are a joke. The bloggers are right, you are hateful mongers. How much are you getting paid for all those remarks. Face it, the lady is climbing in the polls and Obama is slipping. If you really want to become first time voters, leave out the hate and nasty remarks. This, you young voters is nothing to play with, it's your life. Economics, gas prices, housing, and war. Oh I forgot mommy and daddy will suppoprt you. Well, some kids are growing up in a lesser household and are not as lucky. We need a strong candidate, and if ROCKY is the term being used, I'm going to agree. Obama is a woosh and needs to learn more. If Karl Rove helps him win he will loose the respect of all voters. Including me. I never did like what the man did and how he did it. Talk about someone who wil burn in hell. Rove is the man. He has no conscience. Vote for who you want but leave out the comments. It would be more mature to state your honest reasons and why you support your candidate.

A PANSY ??????????? Great timing, Governor.

Governor Easley has a poor reputation in this state, and unfortunately for Senator Clinton his endorsement does not carry much weight. In fact it may drive others in the opposite direction. I don't begrudge her the endorsement, however I personally believe Obama will still be victorious in NC. I hope the dems wil all come together behind whoever our nominee is. It would just be wonderful if that person happened to be Barack Obama.

Umm, isn't this Easley guy the same governor embroiled in a health-care funding scandal?

In fact, wasn't Governer Easley in a campaign funding scandal during his re-election where his state (NC) purchased land in which Easley's campaign then received $10,000 from the same land owners?

Ah, doesn't surprise me that Easley and Clintons are buddies.

OMG! She picked up an endorsement finally! All praise Queen Hillary for providence has sought to issue her a failing governor's endorsement! Let's make a huge deal about this single endorsement and ignore all of Obama's triumphs.
Heil Hillary!!!

I wonder if Obama thought she looked like a typical white woman on the stage today beside the NC Governor .At least Clinton has solutions .

So hillary gets so few super endorsements that the media has to run two stories for each one just to keep interest in the campaign. good to know cnn

She can't win w/o the African American vote. Don't her supporters and the DNC know this. Right now she has only 59% of that vote and dems know in order for them to win anything they must at least 90% of that vote.

. . .Everyone else in NC has endorsed Senator Obama.

no, only the idiots, the press and the attention hounds endorse Obama.

Did the Clinton supporters know this? IF A PASTOR IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY THEY KEEP!

Some people just can't stand the truth, they have to keep proliferating lies.
That preacher has nothing to do with the Clintons. Are there ANY LITERATE Obama nuts out there? I guess not, cause if they had half a brain, they wouldn't jump on the train.

Easley = Secretary of ?????

Wow talk about being out of touch…. What Hillary wanna do is to make the tunnel to china bigger and wider…
Then she will take your pay checks with her health care…..
Bomb Iran, because like Iraq they are not our lab dog…
and at 3 am she will wonder what Bill are doing in the oval office..

did rocky not lose to too ??

Obama is already the nominee, Clinton supporters just are angry about it.
Obama is a leader who can call people to action. All he has to do is give the reasons and then give the orders. I will go to Iraq, Afghanistan or Washington to fight for him. Clinton? Not so inspiring.

Yes we blah blah!
Change we can blah blah!
Time for a change in the rhetorical platitudes!

Come on people! You that are under 21 years old can not possible remember what our country was like when Bill Clinton was president. I do, and believe me, our economy was great, we as a country was admired by all other countries, and respected. Obama may be a good man but he's not prepared for the presidency. So quit the negativity about Hillary. Tell your candidate to do the same and not try to hide behind his people.

Good grief!!! The Obama supporters get awfully grumpy when Clinton gets an endorsement. When Obama gets one, the reaction of Clinton supporters isn't this bitter and personal. And they're so defensive when asked about specifics and real issues! I think the reality of the grind may be wearing on the Obama camp, who had come to believe that their candidate was somehow "ordained" to be the nominee. Give me a break!!

ALL OF YOU OBAMA PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP. OBAMA IS A CHARLATIAN, OBAMA CAN NOT BEAT MCCAIN. THE REPUBLICANS WILL CRUSIFY HIM. YOU KEEP SAYING THAT HILLARY CAN NOT GET ENOUGH DELAGATES TO WIN. WELL NEITHER CAN OBAMA. AND SHE IS LEADING HIM IN SUPER DELAGATES. IF YOU DON'T WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH VOTE FOR HILLARY.

I am an independent voter who apparently fits the "profile" of an Obama supporter. I have been impressed with Obama's speeches and I appreciate the excitement he's brought, especially to a whole realm of new voters. However, I am a results-oriented person, and firmly believe Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified person to serve as our President. Lastly, I don't understand why people dislike her so much. It seems to me she is someone with a strong heart and an ongoing desire to make the U.S. a better place. She will get my vote next Tuesday.

Another un-supper delegate going the wrong side. After all he is a Southerner and he probably was mad by Wrights straight talk.
Good for McCan.

Yall Obama people are all crazy what is this man doing he can't even carry a conversation or win a debate and yall want him for president wake up and smell the coffee, Hillary is going all the way to the White House

Hillary 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you in Tx

Michelle,

Thanks for the link. If we are going to keep talking about how important pastors are in this election, we need this.

Why would this guy cut his political throat for nothing?

With all the Judas's out there, it's nice to finally see someone who isn't brainwashed w/ a message of "hope".

There is a reason Hillary wants debates, she has concrete (but not stubborn) solutions for America.

Hillary '08/ '12

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? There is absolutely no point in this! What an idiot! Hillary has NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER in N.C. All this does is drag this stupid primary out even longer!!!! This is so ridiculous!!!!

Its good to see the democrat party make the right decisions. Sen. Hillary Clinton is the right choice.

Was it not Clinton who said endorsements don't mean anything?

A looser backing a looser….The question is this…..how is she going to get this nomination by stealing it maybe????
We have chose our nomination and that is BARACK OBAMA….

Tell me more about Hillary's Paster. I bet it will never hit the airways,until after the voting is done. The media is to much

I wish she was like that and used good judgement when her husband cheated on her in front of the whole world, my God what is she telling her daughter, if your husband cheat on you just "stand by your man" and endure the humiliation it will pay off in the end. No I don't want her in the white house she really don't have a clue on what battles to fight.

Woohoo! You go Hillary!

We love you!

YES WE WILL!

YES WE WILL!

I'm hoping and praying that Hillary can pull an upset in N.C. I for one do not want someone with little to no experience leading my country. Also I'm tired of him crying file when race is brought up unless he brings it up. Sorry Obamma I veiw you as a racest and if you get the nomination I will not vote for you (LIFE LONG DEMOCRAT)!

Hillary is going to be a better President than Bill. If the Kool-Aide drinking Barack supporters in Obamalot are honest, they will admit that Bill was very good. We have alot of problems in the US that need immediate attention. Clinton will hit the ground running and we do not have a minute to loose. Hillary can win the race against McCain. Obama can not. Thank you to the Gov of North Carolina for making your voice heard.

Well, she lost just like Rocky.

No she will not win. Her husband dropping one in someone else face does not make her a fighter..

Easley's trying to line himself up a cabinet job! I get it !

Hey, BCarlisle in San Ramon… with all due respect, what have you been smoking?

And maybe you could enlighten us as to the nature of 'Obama's smoke screens and lies'?!?

Like what?

It's beginning to sound like CNN is on the Clinton payroll!! Everytime Hillary gets a backer of any sort, CNN makes it sound like the primary election just ended and their beloved Hillary just won. I'm so sick of Hillary and her garbage politics and her "i'll steam roll over anybody to get what's rightfully mine" attitude. And the worse part about it is evertyime you listen to CNN, they spend their time praising and practically worshipping this dispicable woman. ENOUGH already, be fair on all sides and stop acting like Hilllary is responsible for your paychecks!!

CNN just post it for once jeez

So hillary gets so few super endorsements that the media has to run two stories for each one just to keep interest in the campaign. good to know cnn

I would like to see Obama stand up for himself more often. He lets others put his words and deeds into context too often. Unfortunately others do not frame him in positive lights. For example:
Proclaim it unfair that Wrights outdated thoughts mark Obama’s record. Is there any proof in any of Obama’s deeds that he supports the aspirations of Wright?

Obama lets Fox, Hillary, Wright, and others push him around. Sooner or later his base is going to leave him. Last, he needs to follow Roves advice.

Hillary Clinton is the worst women on this planet and can not unify her campagin how can she unify our Country

Nobama:

With all due respect, the reason the "great guys" are losers, is because we, the voters, refuse to vote for "great guys". Did we not know that George Bush was in idiot the SECOND time we voted for him?

Did we not know that Bill Clinton was a womanizer before the FIRST election?

Of course we did. And we voted for them anyway. If Obama is the better candidate, and if he loses, and if you didn't vote for him, then it's your fault.

If you think Hillary is the better candidate, then PLEASE vote for her.

Don't vote for someone because they have a better chance of winning. It's the other way around. They have a better chance of winning if we all vote for the BEST CANDIDATE!

Again so many hateful comments I see on here. It is very hard to support a candidate that has followers so full of hate. You don't make a valid case for yourself or your candidate. Not to mention, you are a poor representation of our country. No wonder other countries look down on us.

America, do your homework. The accomplishments of each candidate speak for themselves. Use your brain and research!!! You will find that at least one candidate has MANY accomplishments that go back MANY years. You will be surprised!

I am an American living in Australia watching the fiasco unfold and two things have occurred to me while witnessing this event.

First, our electoral system is broke and it needs to be fixed. The fact we spend a year deciding who will run for a president and less then six months deciding on president seems a bit backward.

Second, We as a country (I will be moving back) need to stop holding on to what we know. We know the Clinton's it is safe. We have been there and seen the 'magic', but times are different and a different perspective is very much need.

Obama is not perfect, but he is fresh and his is smart enough and humble enough to surround himself with the right people to make the best decision. Additionally, there are no previous hang-ups with him in congress or the senate which puts him in a much better position to get this freaking country to start working together and solve the laundry list of problems that are mounting.

From the land down under

It's amazing to me how vicious Senator Obama's supporters are. Many of their comments on blogs I have read are mean spirited, rude, and disrespectful. Many of them attack Senator Clinton personally even stooping so low as to criticize her personal appearance and body type.

And the pundits and media gurus say that the Clintons are negative!

Hillary is the only Democrat that can win. The more people find out about Obama the more they are concerned. The country does not know this man but the republicans do - if he becomes the candidate they will rip him to shreds.
HE can't take it - he is weak
SHE IS STRONG

Why anyone would want to board a sinking ship is beyond me. I can only guess she has promised him some political favors.

You people are delusional if you think John Edwards is going to support a politician as dirty, ruthless, deceitful and in the pocket of special interests as Hillary Clinton. She represents just about everything he aimed to change about Washington. If he was going to support her he would have done it well before now. 48 prominent staffers and supporters of John Edwards campaign have already endorsed Obama. it's only a matter of time before the Senator does too…

The politicals of yesterday will never overcome our move for change in Washington. I believe that people will see the truth through the slim of Clinton.

Go! OBAMA

OBAMA

OBAMA

OBAMA

OBAMA

OBAMA

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!

It is so sad. I am a yellow dog Democrat and will fight hard for anyone who wins but this is tearing apart our part. Yes, I prefer Obama over Clinton but if you would have asked me two months ago whether I had a negative impression of Hillary I would have said no. But that has changed. She is tearing apart our party. Her only chance of winning is if she gets super-delegates to overthrow the regular delegate count which will most certainly tear apart our party. I don't care if Obama is another Mondale, if we have a divided party it will affect all of our races all the way down the ticket everywhere. Clinton is killing us.

i don't understand how she could be the comeback kid when she blew such enormous leads she has had and she has the ex-president stumping for her as well.

i was hoping the superdelegates would use some sense in making their choice. i guess their choice is more negativity, more vileness, more conniving, more deceipt. The writing's on the wall.

please remaining superdelegates look at her conniving and see through the b/c.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. Obama is smoke and mirrors. Ohhhh, I'm all about change, of course I haven't actually done any HARD stuff. Loook at me, I'm all about change.

QUIT DREAMING PEOPLE. They're all corrupt. She's probably our only hope for someone who can deal with corruptness, but still pull us out of the hell we're in now.

You idiots who think that Hillary is going to win over John McCain are clearly delusional and borderline psychotic. I am one of the growing numbers of people who think that John McCain has something over Billary,…..character. I do not agree with all of his policies, and his recent truce with the religious right, but I will take him over the lying, manipulative, calculating, meglomaniac that is Hillary Clinton. As far as the NC Governor goes, a putz and who cares, he is leaving office soon and knows his state is going for Obama, so he looses nothing. Wake up simpletons.

Why is anyone surprised by this endorsement? He is not going to support a Black candidate. He is just one vote. Obama will win this state easily.

OBAMA 2008!!!

this clinton former pastor information should leak to the press because the politics is now brought down to pastor level. it is not obama that said those things but somebody else a human being even though pastor. why should he carry the burden as though he committed an offence. America wake up!!

When did mudslinging make an individual tough? To me the one that does the mudslinging is the so called "pansy". Good for her that she got the NC Governor's endorsement. That is not a guarantee she will win that state. There are individuals who have minds and make thier own informed decisions. Clinton's so called toughness is divisive unless you are in her camp. What will happen if she does become President, how does her divisiveness get things done for the American people? I guess she'll just aniliate whoever gets in her way. That will solve many a true problem we currently have in this country,

Won't see the effect that it made in PA.

I just LOVE THE LAST TWO SENTENCES OF THE ARTICLE:

He is the second superdelegate from North Carolina to back Clinton. Six North Carolina superdelegates have endorsed Obama.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And she makes Dracula look like a day care worker. Yet, is this what we want - a "killer" In office? I'll take smart, deliberate, tough, and less divisive any day of the week. Bush is tough as nails and b/c of that we are knee deep in troubles. Hillary will split this country so far apart we won't be able to scream to the otherside.

toni, who said anything racist? Only the Clinton's bring up race not Obama.

McCain is going to win and man are we going to lose!

I'm with Hillary all the way.

She is the next President.

The people who believe in her have a feeling about it.

It's just undeniable.

No matter how bleak the horizon looks, we can feel in our guts that she is going to make it.

It's her time.

The television pundits haven't been able to stop her.

Obama's money machine hasn't been able to stop her.

The print media hasn't been able to stop her.

Her supporters keep pluggin along, quietly, and not so quietly.

We will overcome.

We will prevail.

She hears us and she fights for us.

We will fight for her.

Love you Hillary (and thank you, Bill, for 8 yrs. of peace and prosperity)

HILLARY CLINTON, Madame President, POTUS #44 !!!!

Obama 08………………Obama 2012……… Yes…Yes…Yes.

Obama 08……………..Obama 2012……………………..Obama2012……

Obama 08………………..Obama 2012………………….Obama 2012….

Ditch the Rocky references. They're trite and meaningless.

The only real part of that comparison is that Rocky is a fictional character, just like Clinton's public persona.

Don't fall for it.

I voted for Easley, i still like Easley because i understand he's bucking for Att. Gen. in a Clinton Admin. Good move for yourself easly

Obama 08

Hillary Clinton is the toughest and most resilient democrat we have had for years.
She wins when she has to against incredible odds. As for the Obama supporters and those who are crying for her to get out of the race. Obama has had many chances to finish Clinton off, BUT he cannot. That says something incredibly loud a
