Barack Obama would be happy to get endorsements from North Carolina's Congressmen, but he says he doesn't have them yet.
The Democratic presidential candidate's campaign e-mailed Dome this morning to say that the Wall Street Journal's report it had all seven Democratic Congressmen lined up for a group endorsement was a bit premature.
(So far, only Rep. G.K. Butterfield has endorsed Obama. Reps. Brad Miller, David Price, Heath Shuler, Mel Watt, Bob Etheridge and Mike McIntyre have not made any endorsements yet.)
"We're pleased to have the support of Rep. Butterfield and are working to earn the endorsement of his colleagues in the N.C. Congressional delegation," wrote spokesman Dan Leistikow in an e-mail to Dome. "Despite the Wall Street Journal's optimism, none of them has (told) our campaign that they are ready to announce their endorsement of Senator Obama, so we'll keep working on it."
