WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The firefighters' union endorsed Democrat Chris Dodd for president on Wednesday, shrugging off his low poll ratings and promising a strong grass roots effort to help turn around his 2008 campaign.
Harold Schaitberger, president of the 280,000-member International Association of Fire Fighters, said he was not discouraged by Dodd's second-tier position in a Democratic race led by high-profile stars like Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois.
