SEIU ... Weighing Obama Endorsement

The Washington Post is reporting tonight that the Service Employees International Union executive board is considering an endorsement of Barack Obama.

Would certainly be a big, big get for him, one John Edwards couldn't land despite his extensive efforts. Stay tuned ...

I seem to recall that the Culinary Union was a "big get" for Obama in Nevada and that didn't meet expectations, either.

Corinne - agreed, but the difference here is time. Culinary workers came 3 days before the caucus in NV. This would be several weeks, more time to get the machine moving, in support of Obama.

Nah, I don't think time is a factor here at all. None of the union endorsements have met the expectations.
