More big news for Barack Obama:

The SEIU California State Council has endorsed Barack Obama! SEIU is the largest union in California, representing 650,000 members, and originally endorsed John Edwards.

Barack Obama clearly has momentum, stemming both from his South Carolina landslide and the wave of big time endorsements, along with a strong debate showing last night. Every state that is voting on Super Tuesday has shown movement to Obama, with anywhere from 5-11% swings.

While Hillary is still leading in most of those states, the races are getting closer and closer. And with SEIU's help in California, that could make a HUGE difference on Tuesday.

UPDATE: MoveOn.org has also endorsed Obama. Regardless of your feelings regarding MoveOn, they have shown that they can mobilize people.
