When it comes to endorsements outside of Iowa from the powerful Service Employees Internation Union, Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign started in the east with endorsements from the Illinois and Indiana councils.
Now, it has covered Iowa’s southern flank, with the backing of the Missouri / Kansas State Council of the SEIU, his campaign announced this afternoon.
Of course, the big prize went earlier this week to former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, when he won support from 10 of the state councils, including those in Iowa, California, Michigan and Ohio.
