Last week, [Barack Obama] received endorsements from the Illinois AFL-CIO and from the Illinois Association of Firefighters. Currently polls show Obama with anywhere from a 10 point to a 20 point lead over Republican nominee Jack Ryan. The Illinois AFL-CIO Executive Board and COPE Committee voted to endorse Obama at their summer meeting last Thursday. Margaret Blackshere, Presi-dent of the Illinois AFL-CIO; Jim Allen, representing the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers; Elwood Flowers, representing the Amalgamated Transit Union; and Frank Cava-retta, representing the United Steelworkers of America announced the endorsement.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- If you are a Democratic candidate running for office, would you want President Obama to endorse your candidacy? How about if you are a Republican - would you want Sarah Palin or the Tea Party's endorsement? (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/NY06256LOGO )

Even more telling is the renewed front-runner status of Republican John McCain and President Bush's call for a $145 million stimulus package for the ailing economy. Though nobody but the most hateful and venomous of the right could ever label Bush and McCain as "liberals" both men share one thing in common: they do not support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants from this country or the complete moratorium on those from other cultures and races entering the United States - like say the way former GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo called for before being soundly ousted by Republican primary voters early in the contest. Enthusiasm for [Barack Obama] and [Hillary Clinton] have drawn record numbers of new voters into the process. You can see it in the faces of the young st...

CHICAGO - The nation's largest teachers union voted Monday to support President Obama's 2012 re-election bid, marking one of the earliest union endorsements for the administration. About 72 percent of the National Education Association's representative assembly voted to recommend the president's candidacy to its 3.2 million members, despite past disagreements between the Obama administration and many rank-and-file teachers who dislike parts of the president's reform agenda.
Britain gave us Twiggy (remember her?) and the Beatles, and this week it's payback time. We're returning the favor with the slap and dash of an American presidential election. Old Blighty is awash in endless public-opinion polls, televised debates taking the measure of the candidates' cosmetics, celebrity endorsements, dramatic gaffes and a media-manufactured cry for some of Barack Obama's hopey- changey. The three-way race ends Thursday, when voters in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide whether to sack Gordon Brown and the Labor Party and, if so, whether to replace him with David Cameron and the Conservatives or Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats. The late polls show the Conservatives out front and inching toward a slender majority.
Former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. won the backing Thursday of the National Federation of Independent Business, a nonprofit, small- business advocacy group. The announcement doesn't have the cachet of dueling New York mayoral endorsements and won't get as much buzz as President Obama doing a radio ad for Gov. Martin O'Malley. But, in a race where both men are touting their business bona fides, it does mean something.
WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama erased Hillary Rodham Clinton's once- imposing lead among superdelegates Saturday when he added more endorsements from the group of Democrats who will decide the party's nomination for president. Obama added superdelegates from Utah, Ohio and Arizona, as well as two from the Virgin Islands who had previously backed Clinton. The additions enabled Obama to surpass Clinton's total for the first time in the campaign. He had picked up nine endorsements Friday.

In an interview, Carl Brooks, president and CEO, Executive Leadership Council, talked minorities striving for the C-suite. Brooks said the networks for African-American females were considered more social than strategic. But they didn't have the strategic ingredient that would allow them to advance and ask each other for support and endorsements. President Obama did in a two-year period just what minorities did over longer periods of time. He demonstrated that you have a mastery of subject matter, you can motivate people, you can get business results.
