From ABC's "The Note"....
"Is the National Education Association's New Hampshire affiliate on the verge of endorsing? (Or "recommending," as they say in NEA-speak!)
Sources familiar with the union's deliberations tells ABC the NEA's Granite State folks will endorse Howard Dean before tomorrow's ABC News/WMUR presidential debate.
It is no secret that the Dean folks have exerted heaps of energy wooing the board, which was expected to issue its candidate verdict this week. Dean was the first candidate to visit with the union's leaders and returned on repeated occasions. He spoke to a group of 400 at the union's annual meeting in March and, we are told, was very well received.
This is BIG NEWS for Team Dean as NEA NH brings with it 14,000 members as the largest education association in the state."
