"LAS VEGAS (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has won the endorsement of the Nevada chapter of the Service Employees International Union, union officials said.

The influential union claims to represent 17,500 health care and county workers in Nevada. Its executive board approved the decision in a conference call Tuesday night, shortly after the Illinois senator finished a close second behind Hillary Rodham Clinton in the New Hampshire primary.

SEIU President Vicky Hedderman said she believes Obama is a candidate "who could take the campaign all the way through November.""

3. Well just let me be wrong about everything

I was wrong about Iowa. Then I was wrong about New Hampshire. If the culinary union endorses, I'll be wrong about that. So let me be wrong about losing momentum too, and wrong about Hillary steamrolling into the nomination.
