6. Has the AFL-CIO made an endorsement yet?
The last I heard, they postponed their endorsement, when everyone was expecting them to boost Gephardt, and the reason was that many members were backing Dean.

Any news on that yet?

7. last news I saw was Hoffa saying he expected Gep to get the 2/3 necessary
but that's certainly not a lock.
