Dean staffers "Giddy" about prospect of getting SEIU endorsement

[CMT]

The Service Employee International Union will next look at endorsing a presidential candidate on November 6th. According to ABC News: The Note correspondent Marc Ambinder it is "hard to find a Dean staffer not giddy about the prospect of getting it."

He goes on:
"...Dean's wooing and successful courtship of SEIU leaders in Los Angeles, San Franciscon, adn New York City, his focus on health care, his explicitly pro-union rhetoric, his anti-Bush, anti-establishment message, his fundraising and standing in the polls makes him undeniably attractive to a union seeking to broaden its influence within the labor movement"

No matter who gets the remaining endorsements. He's been abandoned.

He's got my donation, he's got my vote! On to the primaries!

3. Dean: "I'm as giddy as a schoolboy"

"My father was never giddy, not even when he was a schoolboy..."

Should we start calling him Indiana Dean?
