State-By-State Endorsements Work For Edwards

John Edwards in New Hampshire When the Service Employees International Union announced that it wouldn't endorse a candidate on the national level this year, it seemed like bad news for John Edwards, who's widely considered organized labor's best friend among the Democratic contenders. But it turned out to be just the opposite: Instead of a single big endorsement that faded from the news in a day or two, the state-level nods Edwards is collecting one by one are keeping the story alive and, his campaign hopes, at the front of voters' minds.

NBC News/National Journal embedded reporter Tricia Miller reports on the SEIU endorsements' impact on the Edwards campaign. Hotline On Call and Atlantic's Marc Ambinder have more on Barack Obama and the New Hampshire union's endorsement process.
