[lbo-talk] Speaking of Democrats standing up for principle

David Moberg wrote, in a recent In These Times article about Change to Win:

"A new pro-labor Democratic
president and Congress would likely enact the Employee
Free Choice Act, making it easier to form unions when a
majority of workers sign union membership cards."

I'm curious whether anyone, including Moberg, believes that there is 
somewhere in the range of the possible such a thing as a pro-labor Democratic 
president and Congress that would 'likely enact' anything like the Employee Free 
Choice Act.  (He raises this to justify union political expenditures--CTW as well 
as AFL-CIO.)  This seems as unlikely as it was under Carter... no, more 
unlikely.  The slogan here could be 'vote Democrat, WITH illusions.'
