Obama Gets Support From Union in Iowa
While Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) prepared for the Las Vegas debate, his campaign announced a key endorsement, from the United Auto Workers Region 4, which includes 30,000 members and retirees in Iowa. Delegates voted to back Obama after a week-long conference, which included appearances by all the major Democratic candidates.
"There are many talented Democrats in the presidential field this year, but Barack Obama is the leader who will bring the kind of change to Washington that America's working men and women can believe in," said Paul Erickson, president of UAW Local 442 in Webster City, Iowa.

Blumenthal Working For a Clinton Again
Since Sidney Blumenthal's controversial tenure in the Clinton White House -- he wound up having to testify on the Monica Lewinsky mess -- he has, among other things, been a Bush-bashing columnist for Salon.
Now, to no one's great shock, Blumenthal is again abandoning the world of punditry to join Clinton's campaign.
The onetime Washington Post and New Yorker writer became something of a lightning rod for criticism during his White House stint, particularly after longtime friend Christopher Hitchens said he had described Lewinsky to him as a "stalker" of the president, thereby entangling Blumenthal in the scandal's investigation.
