WASHINGTON - None of the Democratic presidential primary contenders will get the endorsement they've been fervently seeking from the Service Employees International Union, an especially painful blow to John Edwards.

The union said Monday it won't choose a national candidate for the primary elections, underscoring divisions that had been apparent among SEIU supporters of Edwards and the Democrats he trails in national polls: Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

"Any one of these candidates would help create a new American dream for workers and their families," SEIU Secretary Treasurer Anna Burger said.

Instead of making a national endorsement, the union will let its locals make decisions state by state. And to ensure that there are no conflicts, once an SEIU local has chosen a candidate, the union's activists from that state will be barred from campaigning in states that have chosen someone else.
