The Democratic Party: Left Behind

Here's the dilemma: The Democrats CAN'T win without union support, but the Republicans have shown they CAN win without union support.

The historic split of organized labor which took place Monday will slash the Democrats' cash flow and remove thousands of “volunteer” union workers for the nuts and bolts work of organizing political campaigns and getting out the vote. Even worse is the danger of infighting.
