Will the Hillary Clinton campaign take the North Carolina May 6 primary seriously?

Howard Wolfson, Clinton's communications director, left out North Carolina when asked to name the states where Clinton could do well.

"I think Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico are all states we believe we have a good chance to do well in," Wolfson said in a teleconference, Rob Christensen reports.

He also said there increasing talk about finding ways to count the votes of Florida and Michigan, whose votes were discounted as punishment for moving up their primary against party recommendations.

Indiana will also hold its primary on May 6, and Clinton has close ties to U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh.

Note to Wolfson: Puerto Rico's not a state. Yet.

If it's on a post about Obama, I think you can guess, but I will do so.

Would you please give a reason when you delete comments, if only a general one.

I doubt she will, since Obama has won most of the other "southern" states, even Virginia. She has a much better chance in PA, which is sooner, and Indiana, on the same day, so she'll likely focus on those. They also both have a lot of delegates. Her only chance in NC is if she can get Liddy Dole to endorse her!
