Hotline got it wrong. AFL-CIO to begin endorsement process in March, NOT endorse

Endorsement Watch: The AFL-CIO

EDS: please disregard previous versions of this post. The AFL-CIO's spokesman did not suggest that the labor federation would announce its endorsement post March -- only its endorsement process. It is also not clear that the AFL-CIO will endorse any candidate before the caucuses and primaries begin.

An occasional series of posts on the presidential endorsement processes for major interest groups.

Organization: The AFL_CIO

According to AFL-CIO spokesperson Steve Smith, they are "working out details right now" for their endorsement process for WH '08 and are likely to announce particulars of their plan in early March, following their first Executive Council Meeting since the Nov. '06 elections in Las Vegas, NV, March 6th - 8th.

Each of the 54 national and international labor unions within the AFL-CIO has their own respective endorsement processes and must be considered in forming the general AFL-CIO endorsement.

1. That's how it usually goes
I was wondering if the AFL-CIO had gone nuts.

2. In 2004, John Sweeny
came to our tiny little plant before the caucuses with a huge Dean sign, he set up in the parking lot.
