AFL-CIO supports Bell

From Capital Annex:

The Texas AFL-CIO’s endorsement of Democrat Chris Bell for Governor is more than just the “huge shot in the arm,” Bell says it is: it’s exactly what his campaign—and Texas Democrats—needed right now and goes a long way toward illustrating that Texans realize more of the same old regime in Austin isn’t going to fix the problems of our state.
The endorsement of the Texas AFL-CIO, a group of more than 220,000 Texas workers, also difinitively proves that this is a race between Rick Perry and Chris Bell—and that Strayhorn and Friedman are nothing more than the wildflowers along the highway leading to election day.
