North Caroline Governor is Planning to endorse Clinton

According to AP report, Mike Easley, a popular North Carolina governor and a superdelegate, is planning to endorse Hillary Clinton. This is an unexpected turn since 17 of that state’s superdelegates endorsed Obama. Moreover, the demographics of the state (solid African American and white liberal voter population) do not favor Clinton.

The strategy of an under dog is much more successful for Clinton’s campaign, and I think it was a strategic error to assume a position of a front runner in the beginning of the primary season. These strategies not only gave Obama time to emerge and build a solid, structured, and a very organized base of supporters, but also attract media attention and point out all of Clinton’s flaws to make it even easier to overthrow her. On the contrary, as illustrated by the NC governor’s endorsement and double digit win in Pennsylvania, Clinton is much more successful in emerging from seemingly hopeless situations than in securing her position as a front runner.
