It's really just another form of spam on House's part. The US labour elites have been in bed with the Democrats forever, steadfastly refusing to support independent labour political action. The fact that one more union bureaucracy has pronounced itself in favour of one of the Democratic contenders is hardly surprising or worthy of comment (as evidenced by the huge yawn that greeted House's last breathless report about the Steelworkers). We might as well have threads called "Oprah endorses Obama" or "Jack Nicholson endorses Clinton" etc., etc. etc. [ 21 May 2008: Message edited by: M. Spector ]
