The National Federation of Federal Employees took its time weighing this year's presidential candidates, but now the union is officially off the fence: Today NFFE endorsed Barack Obama.

The union had long adopted a stance of neutrality in the election, but when push came to shove, the decision apparently wasn't a close one. NFFE's National Executive Council voted unanimously to back Obama.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
