?I am supporting Hillary Clinton because she has a passion for improving the lives of all Americans. She will be a president who stands up for people across North Carolina ? and this country ? every day in the White House,? said Governor Easley. ?I know she will get to work immediately making education and the economy her top priorities for our nation. She is ready to lead our country and has the ability to deliver.?

And Clinton’s response:

?I am honored to have the support of Governor Easley, whose vision and persistence have made higher education affordable and accessible for North Carolinians,? said Senator Clinton. ?I look forward to working with him in our efforts to turn around the economy and rebuild the middle class.?

Apparently, education is a key political issue this year. It’s about time, given the lack of educational progress during most of President Clinton’s administration and all of Governor Easley’s.
