Superdelegate: Mike Easley


Gov. Mike Easley will not base his endorsement on the state vote.

At a meeting of the National Governors Association, Easley said he did not expect superdelegates to decide the Democratic nomination, according to Media General News Service.

But if they do, he said he will not base his vote at the Democratic national convention for either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on how North Carolina Democrats vote in the primary.

"I don't know how my state's going to vote, but listen, I had to run and get the votes of a majority of the voters out of a state of 9 million people to get my vote, so I'm going to vote like I want to," he told a reporter.

Easley also joked that he was ready to make an endorsement: He will not be voting for John McCain.

Superdelgate: Mike Easley

There are entirely too many negatives pertaining to Barack Obama.
Please support Senator Clinton so the Democrats can win this election.
There are many Clinton supportres will NOT support Obama because of the following:
Pastor Wrights unAmerican Comments
Discrepancies about his upbringing
Past relationships with Anton Rezko in Chicago
United Trinity Church of Christ in Chicago and it's support for Farrakhan
Willam Ayer's friendship
Racial divide
Please review all before deciding on supporting one over the other.
Support the only candidate that we will truly be proud of Senator Clinton
