Obama Camp Says No NC Delegation Endorsement Imminent
The WSJ reported this a.m. that NC's Dem congressional delegation, seven strong, was moments away from coming out en masse for Barack Obama. Not so, report our trusty NBC/NJ embeds, Aswini Anburajan and Carrie Dann.
Per Dann: A staff member close to one of the superdelegates in question confirms there is no truth to the story.
Per Dan Leistikow, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in NC, "Despite the Wall Street Journal’s optimism, none of them has told our campaign that they are ready to announce their endorsement of Senator Obama – so we’ll keep working on it."
One state Democrat who supports Obama did say that elected officials and candidates for office in the state have expressed concern about a prolonged nomination, saying that many of them believe that a popular election result overturned by superdelegates "would destroy the party." A mass endorsement by the delegation would send a clear message of party unity, he said.

Have Mr. or Mrs. Obama (or Rev. Wright) made any comments or given any contributions regarding Mumia Abu-Jamal, the notorious cop killer turned international "celebrity"?
Is there an Obama/Mumia connection?
(And what about "Tookie" Williams?)
