Unions like the SEIU are in a dilemma. Edwards is singing their song but he has little chance of winning the nomination so they don't want to look bad by endorsing an also ran. The unions want to have influence with the winner so they want to back the winner.

It is quite possible that Edwards may still get the SEIU endorsement but not before some political calculation by the union leaders.

If Edwards wanted to clear the way for more endorsements, he would do something to get out of his consistent mid to low teen polling numbers that he has maintained throughout this campaign. That is easier said than done. His standing is not very encouraging for potential endorsements and contributors.

The unions should stay neutral except to tell their members to be for any democrat besides that Hi liar y and the nut from Alaska.

And why should SEIU endorse Edwards? He can do them no good unless he is elected, and he isn't even going to come anywhere near the nomination. Without that, Edwards is a nobody with a big old mansion to lick his ego in.

I pray for an end to MURDER of all creatures and if the NRA would "back that"... I would consider supporting the NRA. It's just that today I think the exact opposite is true, or what?

BIG SURPRISE: More Spin From Huffington Post ???

Nice 'try' Huffington Post

When Obama reaches the same level of union support that Edwards has, then we will take this, bogus story, seriously. LOL

In light of the fact that Edwards has labor endorsements comprised of over 3 MILLION working and retired union members, stating that the Edwards campaign suffered a major setback on just one endorsement is a tab bit, over-the-top.

We have major infrastructure problems that are at the front of the table in our nation. Who do you think got the major endorsements of steel and mine labour unions whom will specifically address the critical infrastructure problems that will lead to 'MILLIONS of jobs' in the U.S.A.? ; it was John Edwards.

We all know by now that behind the scenes, Huff Post is endorsing Obama, but come on, give us a break. Huff Post, sooner or later, will have to understand that, true journalism is about, 'objectivity'; let's leave the spin for, Faux News.

And here it comes. Let's see the usual 30 posts describing the NRA as Nazi's, nuts and retards. Maybe a couple of dozen typical gun/penis comments can follow those.


How dare the NRA endorse candidates like they were a Labor Union, NEA, NAACP, NOW or AARP. They must think their members expect them to participate in the democratic process like everyone else. The nerve.

Oh my of course they will all be packin!

Any action, by any group that would derail Rockefeller Country Club Republican Giuliani is something I back completely.

A endorsement by the NRA would have no effect on me--they are much too namby, pamby. But hopefully sensible 2nd Amendment supporters with the NRA's help would realize just how authoritarian Giuliani is.

Now if the Gun Owners of America, Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership or the 2nd Amendment Foundation would endorse a candidate in the Republican primaries I would pay a great deal of attention to the endorsement. I have the utmost respect for each of those organizations.

What rejected john mama edward is going to kick your ass.
