I’m sure Chris Lehane won’t be short of work long. Not if Hillary gets the nomination. And then we will all be made to rue the day!

Good on the SEIU. Good on Andy Stern. Let’s hope this starts to turn the tide on the divide and conquer strategy that corporate interests have been using against labor since the PATCO strike in 1981.

TRex moved into his own place, with more room for the therapod.

Red’s vacating - a well deserved one I may add.

But where’s TRex?

And the Gray Lady and most MSM continue to anoint Mama:

By contrast [to the Republicans], Democrats are happier with their field and more settled in their decisions. For all the problems Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to be having holding off her rivals in Iowa and New Hampshire, she remains strong nationally, the poll found. Even after what her aides acknowledge have been two of the roughest months of her candidacy, she is viewed by Democrats as a far more electable presidential nominee than either Senator Barack Obama or John Edwards.

The Dems are more settled in their decisions? That’s news to me.

This is great.

The local labor council in Canton Ohio severed it ties with the local Democratic party when the party screwed them (one last time.)

Not really OT–

If you think the Dems need Lehane’s sorta help, what I’ve been saying all along about Repug prez candidates:

Three weeks before the Iowa caucuses, Republican voters across the country appear uninspired by their field of presidential candidates, with a vast majority saying they have not made a final decision about whom to support, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Not one of the Republican candidates is viewed favorably by even half the Republican electorate, the poll found.

Norske,

I hope you are right. I don’t need to wait for the general to have clear choices - I’ve got a clear choice right now.

If only we could fire Feinstein and Rockefeller for the same thing. Hell, the entire Dem leadership. Well, I can dream, can’t I?

Taft – Hartley outlaws secondary strikes, so honoring the WGA line puts the other unions at risk. Our country has terrible labor laws.
