Unions Back Clinton, Edwards, and Huckabee

The OC Register has good news for presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Mike Huckabee. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers announced today that they are endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Mike Huckabee. The union has over 700,000 members and they estimate that about a third of their members vote Republican. They issued a dual bipartisan endorsement so all their members would participate. This is Hillary's second major union endorsement this week. She secured the 125,000 member United Transportation Union's endorsement earlier this week. Go Hill!

Meanwhile, Democrat John Edwards is being backed by the 530,000 member United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. One third of their members are registered Republicans.

Good news for the three candidates.
