SEIU PRESIDENTIAL PLANS. This is in real-time, people. I'm on the SEIU's press conference call to announce the outcome of their member straw poll here in D.C. on Monday. And it's...nobody? SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger bragged about how the union successfully pushed every Democratic candidate toward universal health care. She said the SEIU executive board is as excited to make an endorsement as its members are, and will meet again this coming Monday in Chicago with members of the three top campaigns, Clinton, Edwards, and Obama. Burger said the union wants to hear each candidate lay out their "strategy" for winning the White House. Andy Stern just called Hillary's health care policy a "totally solid, thoughtful plan." Call over. I didn't get to ask about the results of the straw poll. Analysis to follow. --Dana Goldstein
