Clinton: No mayoral endorsements yet


Hillary Clinton does not have any mayoral endorsements to announce yet.

"As the campaign continues to ramp up its efforts, we will be announcing endorsements," spokeswoman Carly Lindauer said in an e-mail to Dome today.

Yesterday, we noted that rival Barack Obama has already lined up notable endorsements from the mayors of Durham and Greensboro, as well as Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, Asheville, Boone and Carrboro.

Obama may have the advantage in larger cities, which have significant black populations. Still up for grabs: Wilmington and Winston-Salem, among other smaller cities.

Fayetteville mayor Tony Chavonne was at a recent Obama event, but he said he intends to remain neutral.

Charlotte's also off the table, since Republican Pat McCrory is mayor of the Queen City.

Mayor Chavonne is remaining "neutral" b/c he's probably voting for McCain...
