Obama Won't Get N.C. Endorsements Yet, According to Former Party Chair

Contrary to some news reports, North Carolina's seven uncommitted House Democrats are not ready to endorse Barack Obama, according to the former chair of the state's Democratic Party.

"I can assure you that that is false," said Tom Hendrickson, the former Democratic official and a Clinton supporter. "I've talked to members of Congress. And folks are going to maintain the time-honored tradition of letting the people run their race and letting the people vote."

The Obama campaign has also denied the report.
