forgive the comment of a trade union liberal: but its interesting how the Marxist left has written off Obama and his movement more quickly than the right has. the right is gearing up to thwart Obama's liberalism while some of the writers to lbo think he has sold out the people who got him elected even before he has been sworn into office and that his organizational structure will prove useless. But where is the left movement to match what Obama and his netroots have done? Maybe you should pay attention and look to some unions such as PSC-CUNY who sent about 200 members to Pa. They got involved. Of course, the employee free choice act may not be forthcoming, as doug suggests, but labor might be able to move him. Anyway having turned the PA district for Obama does give one labor union some clout, even if small. Lively discussion; I'm glad that I joined this list.
