Pro-war Dem Rep. Albert Wynn, who's fending off a fierce challenge from antiwar Dem Donna Edwards, now appears to be resorting to inflating his endorsements in a last-ditch effort to stave off a loss in tommorow's primary. The Washington Post reports on several recent examples of this, including a "Women for Wynn" mailing that bore the name of Montgomery County council member Marilyn Praisner -- who subsequently told the paper that she'd told Wynn not to use her name. Edwards is still considered to be the underdog, but this can't be the kind of publicity the Congressman wants on the eve of tomorrow's primary. More after the jump.

More from the Post:

Late yesterday afternoon, Wynn said he called Praisner to apologize for what he said was a clerical error.

At least two labor unions -- the Service Employees International Union and the Teamsters -- also have raised questions about Wynn's use of their names on his literature.

Wynn lists the two groups among about 40 that "want to send Al Wynn back to Congress."

"We were surprised that our name was on the literature," said Ellen Golombek , director of government affairs for SEIU.

Curt Clifton , a spokesman for Wynn, said Wynn received contributions from the union and the Teamsters with letters of support for his reelection bid. Golombek said she was looking into whether a check was sent to Wynn last year; none were sent in 2006, she said.

She added that the union "elected not to endorse in this congressional race."
