First Read: NV Congresswoman endorses Clinton

[Colobo]

The "major" endorsement the Clinton campaign is touting today today is Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV), who represents the first congressional district, which includes Las Vegas.

More to come, as Clinton campaign is holding a conference call with reporters.

1. Ill take the union...

support with their network over a congress person any day. Good get... but timing shows they were sand bagging this endorsement to use at this time... not like Obama could pick when the union endorsed him. More of the same from the hillary campaign.

2. Insignificant - Nevada Democratic Party establishment already tilted to Clinton

The two large union endorsements, the SEIU and Culinary Workers Union, are far more important.

The Nevada CWU has 60,000 members, more than the consensus predicted turnout for the Nevada caucuses.

Those December predictions from local political pundits, however, may be too low now that the significance of caucus results has increased.
