Not really. Despite the hype, Not really. Despite the hype, Obama's still ahead by at least 10 points in most polls. But the state's governor, Mike Easley, endorsed Clinton today. Pertinent facts about Easley? Education, particularly pre-k, has been his primary issue in office. He's North Carolina's second Catholic governor, and is said to have vice presidential ambitions. Easley, of course, had backed John Edwards before he dropped out of the race, so just about every news story out there is wondering if the Man Himself will be the next to endorse. I'm gonna go ahead and predict a big NO on that one. John Edwards will not endorse any candidate between now and next week's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana. If he was planning on endorsing before the voting is over, he would've done so long ago. --Dana Goldstein
