Shuler For Clinton

The Raleigh News & Observer is reporting that Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) will support Hillary Clinton:

Shuler, a superdelegate to the National Democratic Convention, had said he would back the candidate who carried his 11th congressional district in Western North Carolina.

Clinton carried the district by 13 points in Tuesday's primary. Barack Obama carried the state.

Shuler,a former NFL quarterback, is serving his first term in Congress.

He is the third superdelegate from North Carolina to back Clinton. The others are Gov. Mike Easley and Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem Susan Burgess.
