North Carolina - North Carolina Governor Mike Easley has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president.

At a joint appearance in the state?s capital, Raleigh, on Tuesday morning, the two-term Democrat said Clinton "gets it".

"It's time for somebody to be in the White House who understands the challenges we face in this country," Easley said.

Easley's endorsement comes a week before the state's May 6 primary. It is a boost for the former first lady, who is trailing Barack Obama in most state polls.

Easley is the second North Carolina superdelegate to endorse Clinton. Obama has the backing of six superdelegates in the state.
