First, it's been pointed out in various news articles that all these union endoresements Gep has been picking up are only TEMPORARY. They don't feel Gep can win the nomination but he's been a real worker for the Unions and, thus, they gave him the early bid. They will in time change the endorsements as things shake out, if necessary. That said, I said here many times (and am so familiar with these people from being born and raised in the midwest and living there for years in the whole big nest of uion workers) that these Union men and women will not walk across the street to vote for Howard Dean because they are real big "support our troops" people (lot of their sons and daughters in the military). To them they "support the war" because they think that not to is to not support the troops. They will spit in Dean's face. Dean's is more the college student and intellectual crowd. The ones who don't have sons and daughters in Iraq. Sooooo, even though Clark did not support the war, he appeals to them on the level of 4 sparkling stars on his shoulders and thus, they will listen to him. It's sort of a "you have to walk the walk if you are going to have any credentials in talking to us". That's life in the US of A and we have to deal with it. That is why Clark is going to make a big splash. Remember, no one is listening to any of these candidates right now. January is still not too late.
