Boilermakers backing Barack
The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers are hosting a series of events across the state to back Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the campaign announced today.
Events are planned in Rossford, near Toledo, Cleveland and Piketon, near Chillicothe.
Obama last week secured the endorsement of the SEIU, the Service Employees International Union. Clinton has received the endorsements of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Teachers.

Obamas words dont mean anything to me anymoreBy P. Carter

Obama is scoring many Ohio endorsements. He got the wife of Attorney General Marc Dann to endorse him today. This was funny, because Dann must realize that if he endorsed Obama it would wind up hurting Obama’s chances to win this important state. Dann is an embarrassment to our party and my Columbus insider friends tell me that the Obama campaign does not want Dann’s endorsement. Getting his wife on board sends key signals to Youngstown activists without allowing for the huge PR hit that would come if Marc endorses. Chandra would not have had this problem if we had elected him AG!
