"Democratic presidential contender John Edwards picked up the backing today from the 90,000-member Massachusetts chapter of the Service Employees International Union.

This is the 11th SEIU affiliate endorsement that the former senator from North Carolina has secured since Monday, representing more than 1 million working families. The other chapters are: California, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, and West Virginia.

"John Edwards understands the everyday struggles of working families," Rocio Saenz, president of SEIU Local 615 in Massachusetts, said in a statement."

This will be especially huge if Edwards gets the NH SEIU as well, as he is expected to.

1. Of course he is a "contender"......Never ever give up.

2. Note, Mass borders NH. If Edwards gets NH, Mass can help in NH.

[Ninga]

3. Any clue that he will get NH? It would be very meaningful if he did. This is starting to

look very good.

[jsamuel]

4. no clue

Mass is a great endorsement anyway because we could use Mass after feb 5.

12. Too bad he won't take their money.

Hopefully a lot of them will volunteer anyway.

[waiting for hope]

13. It's having another 90,000

feet on the ground, knocking door to door and asking for their vote. I like that, I'd rather have a candidate (or a representative) asking me for my vote, not a $1000.00 check so I can "listen".

21. More like 180,000 feet

Most of them should have 2 legs.
