The Wilmington Star-News endorsed Hampton Dellinger today. Interesting that they've rolled out all their other endorsements (other council of state offices, governor, local race) in the preceding days, but saved Barack Obama and Hampton Dellinger till the big Sunday reading day right before Election Day. I think they feel strongly about Hampton...and Obama, of course :-)

Qualifications matter, because in the unlikely event that something happens to the governor, the lieutenant is first in line to step in.

Please use this thread for comments on Jefferson Jackson. Thanks ProudProgressive for the assist!

sorry to make a post just about this, but does anyone have the debate footage? From what I've heard, it was amazing and Jim Neal kicked ass. I am dying to see it.

Apparently, someone took a large number of Dellinger for Lt. Governor signs down in Chapel Hill. It is obvious that another campaign (or campaign supporter(s)) did it because ONLY Dellinger signs were stolen. Please do not do this. Just because Hampton's volunteer base has done a fantastic job putting up signs doesn't meet people should feel jealous and tear them down. Not cool. And if anyone on here knows anything about this, please let me know. thanks.

This big endorsement may have gotten lost in all the other politics going on, but Dr. John Hope Franklin, a person some call the greatest living American, has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.

"He has shown an ability to bridge the divides in our society and unite people behind his agenda for change," he said in a statement.

Franklin has also endorsed Hampton Dellinger for Lt. Governor.

Hampton Dellinger has just been endorsed by the most powerful African American group in the state: the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People.

Please find the press release for this key endorsement below

The backing of the Durham Committee gives Dellinger a clean sweep of the African American endorsing groups so far, which include the Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, the RWCA in Raleigh and the Black Leadership Roundtable of High Point.
