Looks like Illinois UAW's clout won out. Doesn't look to be as big of a "win" for Obama as some people think.
Check this out.
(1) 48% of the voting members of UAW's Region 4 came from Illinois. Barack Obama comes from Illinois.
(2) 22% of the voting members come from Iowa. It turns out that, in today's straw balloting, John Edwards won twice as many Iowa locals as Obama did.
But the strength of Obama in Illinois overwhelmed Edwards (and Clinton).

Since Illinois UAW doesn't caucus on January 3rd, John Edwards should be fine with UAW members if they keep supporting him, like I mentioned on yesterday in the Obama announcement thread.
