John Edwards gets SEIU endorsement from Iowa and California

This means that California can help Edwards out in Iowa, but Illinois or New York can't help out Obama or Clinton.

At 5:30pm Monday ET in Iowa city, John Edwards will get SEIU-Iowa nod and the endorsement of other state affiliates, according to multiple sources. The endorsement, which the Edwards campaign refused to comment on, is key because it means that SEIU members and resources from other state organizations that endorse Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama (think Illinois and New York SEIU chapters) cannot help their respective Iowa campaigns, according to SEIU rules.

This is good news. As a federal union member, I think Edwards is the best bet for labor. His book shows that he really understands wage and fair pay issues, and I was thrilled that his presidental candidate book alone is the only one that doesn't insist that the best ideas are *his* ideas.
