Did Dean break Vermont's law He backtracked that story as not being the Father later. As an Internal Medical guy, his treating of children never happened either. They all tend to 'tall tale" when they start out. But they learn quickly that everything they say will be checked. Hey, if you are not pushing the truth, you are not a Politician!

The Industrial Unions for Gephardt vs the Service Unions for Dean. Interesting breakout. ______________________________________ Old Loyalist and New Face Divide Backing of Unions By STEVEN GREENHOUSE New York Times Gerald W. McEntee, the president of the nation's largest public-sector union, has long been looking for a Democratic presidential contender who can be a winner, and two months ago he was leaning toward the candidacy of Gen. Wesley K. Clark. Mr. McEntee, whose 1.4 million union members are a formidable political force, even asked Harold M. Ickes, the deputy White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, to run the Clark campaign, several Democrats said. But over time Mr. McEntee soured on General Clark, and today he plans to announce that his union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is endorsing Howard Dean. That Dean endorsement, along with one from the Service Employees International Union, will represent a signal moment for organized labor, pointing to uncomfortable fault lines inside the movement. The nation's industrial unions, whose members have been buffeted by global trade, are generally rallying to the side of Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, who is backed by 21 unions. Meanwhile, in backing Dr. Dean, the two giant and fast-growing service and government-sector unions are in search of a new force and face. nytimes.com
