NEW YORK - Democratic presidential contender
John Edwards toiled on the early shift at the Sarah Neuman Nursing Home in Mamaroneck, a northern suburb of New York, waking patients, serving breakfast and living - for a few hours, anyway - the life of a $14-per-hour health care aide.

Edwards’ visit was part of the “Walk a Day in My Shoes” campaign organized by the politically influential Service Employees International Union. In January, SEIU announced it would invite all the 2008 presidential candidates to spend a day on the job with one of its members, most of whom work in hospitals and other health care facilities.

With organized labor one of the most powerful influences in Democratic politics, several of the party’s candidates have accepted SEIU’s invitation, including Sens.
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chris Dodd and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. But Edwards is the first to actually take part in a work visit.
