New Hillary Ad Stars North Carolina Governor Mike Easley
Hillary's up in North Carolina with an uplifting new spot designed to maximize one of her key endorsements in the state -- Governor Mike Easley, who describes her as "resilient" and "determined" and destined to be a "great president."...

This is a very effective ad, I have to say.

North Carolina doesn't have a Democratic political machine the way Pennsylvania does. Easley's endorsement is a boon for Clinton, but he won't be able to crank out votes for her the way Rendell did.

Which is true, given that Obama has most of the mayors' endorsements and the bulk of the NC State Legislature endorsements.

This is the same guy who said she's not a "pansy"?

Yep, that's the one that drew condemnation from HRC.

Condemnation from HRC???? Please provide a link that she condemned his use of the word "pansy" which completes the Gs - God, Guns, Gays.
From all I've read, it seems she laughed when he said this.

Maybe you were being facetious. If so, please ignore my other reply to this comment.

You Clinton supporters keep saying she is a fighter, that is not fighting, that is lying.
I guess in Clinton world Fighting = Lying.

Now, now, now. This was actually a nice change of pace for a post from a Clinton supporter. She's just supporting Clinton, not attacking Obama and that's fine with me.
I'm thinking this race is over unless Clinton wins NC, the last big delegate-ridden state left. She won't be able to catch up and everyone's saying the SDs have already made up their minds...it's just a matter of timing. I guess that pesky math is a lot more important than Clinton supporters would like.
And too bad this ad didn't come out earlier, my wife and I might not have voted for Obama this morning. Just kidding, Easley has little sway in most NC Democratic circles nowadays. Respect, yes, sway, not so much.

At the end of the ad, when he says, "She'll be a great President," the look on his face says it all. He doesn't believe it. He's lying.

Yeah, I can't wait for Hillary to answer that phone at 3 AM.
She'll blow the whole planet up if they wake her up at the wrong time.

Sounds like the next ad from Clintonland will be "I Guess we know who Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants to win the primary...hint...hint.

Yeah, she is quite a leader, the kind that will lie to voters about a Republican policy she is promoting even though she knows damn well it is a worthless plan, all because she wants a few extra votes, and on top of that she attacks her opponent for not supporting the plan, that virtually no one but her, Bush and McCain supports:

What excellent leadership, as if we haven't had enough of that in the last 8 years.

Now I just want her to drop out so I don't have to listen to Eric and Greg endlessly fluff her silly excuse of a campaign.
Easley is a douchebag anyway, and not very well-liked in the stated....but don't expect some NYC pansies on TPM to know that.

I'm more than a little surprised that people still think she's a Democrat.
Joe Lieberman ran as a Democrat too -- until the REAL Democrat Ned Lamont beat him in the Senate primary.
Hillary is no Democrat and the sooner the real Dems acknowledge this, the better.

yep. this guys a gay basher.
and hillary for some reason wants his support because the only people who support her now are uneducated rednecks who tend to be more racist and intolerant than other groups.
and hillary knows this so she tweaks her camapaign to send dog whistles to these voters. hence, "pansy" and "testicular fortitutde"...

why do you folks give some of the most ridiculous and over the top comments here? get real at some point as you can not be this stupid. do you understand the theory of mutual destruction? it worked for years with russia.
you all act like blabbering whacked out kids on a playground and not adults. stop embarrassing the democrats with your idiotic statements and grow the f__k up.
She'll blow the whole planet up if they wake her up at the wrong time.
