AP: SEIU won't endorse any Dem candidate.
WASHINGTON - None of the Democratic presidential primary contenders will get the endorsement they’ve been fervently seeking from the Service Employees International Union, an especially painful blow to John Edwards.

The union said Monday it won’t choose a national candidate for the primary elections, underscoring divisions that had been apparent among SEIU supporters of Edwards and the Democrats he trails in national polls: Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

“Any one of these candidates would help create a new American dream for workers and their families,” SEIU Secretary Treasurer Anna Burger said.

3. I was a Shop Steward in SEIU Local 6. I am not surprised they
are not endorsing any candidate this time around...None of them have taken much of a stand on issues.

Heck, I haven't seen anything from any of them that get my suppport at this time...all I see is posturing. I get conflicting messages from all of them.

The only thing I DO know, is the GOP has far bigger problems that we do. Some of the vegetables they tossed into the salad are really beginning to rot and stink up the place...:)
