Edwards Wins NH SEIU Endorsement.

[Forkboy]

From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan

After weeks of intense lobbying by the top three Democratic presidential candidates, Edwards has come away with the endorsement of the New Hampshire SEIU.

The endorsement will help Edwards considerably, providing him with financial resources and volunteers in the Granite state. It will also prevent other state chapters from sending volunteers to New Hampshire to campaign for either Obama or Clinton.

This is the 12th state SEIU endorsement Edwards has won; the others include Iowa and California.

7. Yeah, but you'd be thrilled if they had gone to your candidate.

Who are you kidding?

[waiting for hope]

8. Yeah, they would be flaming

it all over if that were to happen. Edwards justly deserves the 12 he has received and it's going to help - how many feet on the ground? 70,000 in Mass, another 10,000 in NH, plus all the states that endorsed Edwards that are close to Iowa... hmmm, that's a lot of feet!
K&R and thanks for posting!
