What will the Easley endorsement mean?

With Gov. Mike Easley’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, the big question of what it means still must be answered. At least some of the press traveling with the Clinton campaign didn’t know much what to make of it. Many of them probably don’t know about the recent torrent of bad press Easley has received for his administration’s e-mail policies, namely accusations of his use of deleting e-mails to evade public records laws.

Sen. Clinton is certainly a very well-spoken woman who has kept alive her campaign against the odds in recent months. She reinforced her sharpness as she displayed her intricate understanding of biotechnology and its potential impacts on the economy both here and across the nation. She has to hope, though, that her latest endorsement here isn’t more of a drag than a help as Easley lame ducks through his final year in office. And one thing Clinton certainly has to hope for is that Easley is much more rhythmic in bringing supporters to her than he was in attempting to clap on Tuesday. It was quite an unpleasant sight to see the governor of this state show he may have even less rhythm than this rhythm-challenged reporter.
