Sen. Hillary Clinton on Thursday asked the nation's largest public employees union — and one of her strongest backers — to work hard for the man who beat her for the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to nearly 6,000 union delegates and guests at the 38th international convention of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) on Thursday, Clinton was greeted with a standing ovation, raucous applause and cries of "We love you, Hillary."
