Ambinder: Obama Still Expected To Get Culinary Workers Endorsement

[Renew Deal]

Sources say that the powerful Culinary Workers union in Las Vegas still plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama at a 9:30 am ET meeting in Las Vegas tomorrow.

Obama would accept the endorsement in person on Friday.

Still, one labor source close to the union said there was a lot of "soul searching" going on tonight, and that anything could happen.

1. Wonder what the "searching" is about.

4. Searching for a reason for a union to support an anti-labor jagoff.

7. yes. It has a huge membership

that is expected to make up a large chunk of caucus goers.

8. Yes, its huge... 15,000 almost guaranteed votes.

9. Yes

It's likely to tilt the election one way or another. It's an important endorsement for a candidate.

11. Hotels, Restaurants, Bars, casinos, etc.....

Huge! Think Las Vegas!

10. From Your Link

They should still give it to Obama-- the only thing that changed tonight is that now we know when Hillary cries, lower class American women run to her aid. It's sickening (what has she trult done for them) and I await Obama's resurgence.

Go Obama Go

18. Yes, the comment speaks for itself

but your purpose in posting it here is still an enigma.

14. And apparently that when Obama speaks, college educated women swoon.

New Hampshire is a funny state.

17. I Know

What an ugly sentiment but I have seen posters here who have suggested Clinton supporters are illiterate or poorly educated...

It is true that she does very well among working class folks...God bless em...They do the work some of us high fallutin types don't want to do...
