It could be there are now more trial lawyers than union members.

"Big Labor" as in the private sector industrial unions don't mean squat to the Rats anymore. They're hardly a factor. It's the government workers/trial lawyers union junta that pulls the strings of the Rats today. The Regulatory/Litigation industrial complex to paraphrase Ike.

Big labor is a misnomor. Unions were "big" about 30 years ago. They hardly got any pull these days.

I figured Gephardt for the union vote. Union vote wanes; trial lawyer vote ascends. Your "Hmmmm" is seconded!

Anyone got a % on union growth/loss of membership vs growth of trial lawyer population (I'm assuming only growth in trial lawyer arena).

I'm not exactly sure what point I'm trying to make (no caffeine yet) but aside from the people who vote for looks over anything else, what does this say about labor and about trial lawyer money & influence...something like that....got to get caffeine and read rest of thread...answer probably already downthread!

Second question...will Edwards smooch onstage with his wife like Gore did to cinch those votes?!
