Washington SEIU Endorses Obama

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Tacoma, WA -

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) announced yesterday that it was endorsing Barack Obama for President. SEIU, the state's largest labor union with over 100,000 members, had previously endorsed John Edwards until he suspended his campaign just over a week ago.

The Times' Ralph Wilson has a take on it here.
