There is no room for Gephardt to move right on abortion, gun control, or school vouchers. His position on each of those is rather iron-clad. If this came from a Democrat, then it's pretty much guaranteed to be John Edwards who has space to move right on all these issues and several others. Edwards also just sunk a hefty amount of advertising dollars into Iowa and desperately wants to get himself up above the 15% threshold for awarding delegates.

One small error.. Dean wasn't endorsed by the AFL-CIO, he was endorsed by the SEIU, and the AFCSME. The 2nd and 3rd largest Unions IN the AFL-CIO. The AFL-CIO itself hasn't endorsed anyone as their rules require 2/3 of thier membership to back a person before they get an Endorsement vote.

At this point it looks like no one will get the AFL-CIO full endorsement until after the Dem Convention.
