Kiss o' Death!
Unfortunately for Senator Clinton, this KoD came too late to put NC into her column. Rather than currying favor with Governor Easley, she should have called Mr. Edwards a month ago and BEGGED him to endorse Senator Obama BEFORE the primary.

Who cares about Edwards? He did nothing for this state, so what's the big deal!

Edwards endorsement of Obama was not to garner any kind of support within North Carolina. Edwards' support or not, this state will not be voting Democrat come November.
I think the Obama camp was just pleased to get the support of the second runner-up. Whatever "weight" Edwards carried theoretically should be thrown behind Obama now. In my opinion, he is now so far out of the spotlight that it doesn't matter who he endorses. I think Obama is simply hoping to garner a little bit more traction with the "working class" as Edwards tried to be a huge proponent of theirs.

What does Edwards do these days? Is he still suing people? I was surprised to see that he isn't even a superdelegate.

An Obama / Edwards ticket would certainly be the handsomest (word?) Pres & VP candidates we've ever had. Not that I'm that shallow, but I can't help but notice how good looking those guys are.
If the election was based on looks and basketball skills - these guys TROUNCE McCain!

Obama is good looking, are you smoking crack?
