Gov. Mike Easley talks with the press, in this Dec. 12, 2007 file photo, during his year-end interview at the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh, N.C. For the first time since 1992, the year he won his first term as state attorney general, a presidential election year will pass in 2008 without North Carolina Gov.
