Heath ShulerFormer President Bill Clinton will hold a fund raiser in Raleigh later this month for U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler.

Clinton will be in town on January 26th to speak at N.C. State University's Millennium Seminar Series at Reynolds Coliseum, Rob Christensen.

The Clinton visit is widely seen as a thank-you to Gov. Mike Easley, who endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary last year. For his part, Shuler said he would back whoever won his district and endorsed Clinton after the May 6 primary.

First Lady Mary Easley heads the seminar series.

After his morning speech, Clinton will attend a fund raiser for Shuler with ticket prices ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The location has not yet been decided.

I like Shuler but hes too socially conservative for my taste. I think Cooper will end up winning the nomination. He has a much better chance of winning as well.
