Barack Obama has won the support of UAW Local #893 in Marshalltown, which includes 3,000 members and retirees.
Dennis Stewart, President of UAW Local #893 in Marshalltown, had this to say...
The Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs have been in charge for too long. This week, here in Iowa , their desperate attempt to control the political process is all over our televisions. Now more than ever before, working families know Barack Obama is the only candidate in this race who’s not getting any help in Iowa from Washington lobbyists, special interest PACs, or the shadowy outside organizations known as 527s. That’s why working families can trust Barack to change Washington , tell the truth and win in 2008.
This is big news for Obama in Marshall County. Chet Culver had the support of the UAW in the 2006 Democratic Primary for Governor and Culver won over 50% of the vote in Marshall County with the help of the UAW. Obama had already built strong support in the county and this might just push him to victory in Marshall County on January 3rd.

The UAW support is a nice win for Obama (and will probably hurt Edwards). Does anyone else, however, see the irony of the UAW (or at least its Marshall County chapter) supporting Obama because he supposedly isn't beholden to lobbying groups?
