AFSCME Backing Clinton In Iowa Because She Has Experience And The Plan To Move America Forward - 12/26/07

By Doug Cunningham

AFSCME is backing Senator Hillary Clinton. AFSCME's Andrew Bouska says Clinton is the better candidate and here's why.

[Bouska]: "I think her strength, her leadership and her experience are unparalleled. She has the plans to move America forward. She has the experience to get that done. There won't be any quote, unquote on the job training with Senator Clinton. I think in terms of economic security, protecting America, providing health care for everyone, standing up for strong workers, ending privatization Hillary Clinton is the candidate to best do that."

Bouska believes the momentum in Iowa has swung back to Clinton.

[Bouska]: "There is momentum. I think you look at the Des Moines Register's endorsement of Senator Clinton, which was very helpful. And I think everyone knew that Iowa was going to be a tight race. I had seen some information that Senator Clinton was surging ahead in Iowa and I've also
seen some information that the race is tightening. So it's gonna be a tough race and we're doing everything we can to get our members out and springboard her on to New Hampshire."
