Has Obama got labor endorsements to roll out for Pennsylvania and Ohio?
Barack's gotta rock the union vote in those states. The "HRC is the blue collar candidate, Obama's only for Yuppies" meme is gonna get rolled out big time by the competition.

Anybody know if labor heavy hitters will matter there?

It'll be comparable to JFK needing to prove he could get Protestant votes in West Virginia.

1. you might ask Omaha Steve this question
He is our labor person around here and he was for Edwards and it is my understanding that he just decided to go with Sen. Obama for president. :D

You can find many of his posts at the Labor Forum:

4. Getting UMWA backing would help big time
Have they made any endorsement yet this year?
