Yeah, Liza & I have been discussing this over the last few days - what the fuck are the unions thinking? What payback would there have been for supporting the wrong guy in the primary? Whoever the eventual Dem nominee is will need union cash and phonebanks. Is it caution, like this piece suggests, or is it that they really *are* the labor lieutenants of capital and are acting accordingly?
