At a joint appearance in Raleigh Tuesday morning, the two-term

Easley's endorsement comes a week before the state's May 6th
primary. It's a boost for the former first lady, who is trailing

Easley is the second North Carolina superdelegate to endorse

Easley and Clinton began the day touring a biotechnology lab at
North Carolina State University.
