[lbo-talk] Blue Dog Victory? No says nathan

[andie nachgeborenen]

The prohibition of affirmative action in Michigan,
where the U-M fought tooth and naith to preserve that
polict in higher education and won a very sighificant
victory, is  a big blow. Plus the gay marriage bans.

Btw, big business likes affirmative action, which was
made national policy by Richard Nixon. The revulsion
against it is populist, not elite.
