North Carolina Governor Backs Clinton

Raleigh, NC ~ Governor Mike Easley, a Democratic National Convention superdelegate, endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday, boosting her presidential bid a week before North Carolina May 6 primary.

Appearing onstage with Clinton and his wife, Mary, the two-term Democrat declared the New York senator “gets it.”

“It’s time for somebody to be in the White House who understands the challenges we face in this country,” Easley said, adding a gentle dig at rival Barack Obama’s signature slogan of hope.
