North Carolina Gov. To Back Clinton
The Associated Press is reporting that North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley is planning to endorse Hillary Clinton, most likely tomorrow. No formal announcement has been made.
Easley, a superdelegate and conservative Democrat who has been the state's governor for two terms, is reportedly planning the endorsement despite the fact that Clinton trails Barack Obama by double-digits in most polls of North Carolina Democrats. The state's voters go to the polls on May 6th.
In other endorsement news, Obama picked up the backing of United States Senator Jeff Bingaman today. The superdelegate said in a statement: "To make progress, we must rise above the partisanship and the issues that divide us to find common ground. We must move the country in a dramatically new direction. I strongly believe Barack Obama is best positioned to lead the nation in that new direction."
UPDATE: CBS News confirms that Clinton will get Easley's endorsement tomorrow.

HILLARY FORMER PASTOR CONVICTED OF CHILD MOLESTATION
LOUISVILLE, Ky. | Kentucky bigwig Ben Chandler, a new U.S. rep and grandson of a former governor, will endorse Barack Obama today, Obama%u2019s state campaign director said.
She''s running an ad in Indiana talking about a military factory that closed and the work was shipped to China. It''s true it''s a tragedy.
Bill Clinton was the president that allowed it to happen.
My friends called from Indiana to voice their outrage at Hillary.
Thanks for bringing up the phantom issue which Hillary has avoided throughout the campaign-why she voted for the war but not to let the UN inspections be completed.
