[lbo-talk] March 20, 2004, Columbus, OH: A Day That WillLive In Infamy

[JW Mason]

As another datapoint, I was recently at a meeting of NYC-area labor leaders
(mostly local presidents and people on that level) where there was a
discussion of the presidential race. There was a significant minority (4 or
5 out of 20 or so) that were strongly pro-Nader. The most outspoken was an
African-American official from a Teamsters local in Queens. So these things
don't always break down the way you might expect.
