Clinton downplaying NC primary

Officials with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign are downplaying the importance of the North Carolina primary.

But the Clinton campaign will be in North Carolina this week, as will the Barack Obama team.

Several campaign observers have said the state is a must-win for Clinton.

Pennsylvania’s April primary will allocate 158 delegates.

North Carolina votes two weeks later, dividing up 115 delegates in the last triple-digit haul for the candidates.
