Shuler too busy on Obama question

U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler is not ready to get on the Barack Obama train.

In a piece in Politico today, a spokesman for the Waynesville Democrat says he hasn't made a decision on what to do now that the Democratic primary is over:

Rep. Heath Shuler, a freshman Democrat from right-leaning North Carolina, has also been too busy to endorse. After Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton carried his district in the North Carolina primary, Shuler said he would cast his superdelegate vote for her at the Democratic convention.

Now that Clinton is out of the race? "We've gone back to his work up there in the House," said Shuler spokesman Andrew Whalen. "We're not really too focused on the presidential [race]."
