Perdue backs Obama in mailer

Beverly Perdue's endorsement of Barack Obama is a little more public.

After a fairly low key announcement in March, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate began making automated calls and sending out mailers on behalf of Obama this month.

The mailer, at right, is being sent to black households in North Carolina.

"I've endorsed Barack Obama," it reads. "All North Carolinians can have good jobs and affordable health care. That's why I'm running for governor. Together, we can do this."

On the back, the mailer says that it is a "very exciting time in America" and "a chance to make history."

"I've endorsed Barack Obama, because I believe that he is truly committed—as I am—to bringing real change for our families," it reads.

Perdue's primary opponent, Richard Moore, has also endorsed Obama.
