Blue collar voters, the union rank and file at least, will NEVER leave Obama. He appears to be a ticket to some sort of freebies to them and plays well to the natural human failings of jealousy and envy.

That is true only for public sector unions. Private sector union workers often vote Republican based only on gun issues and other social issues.

Most workers in the oil patch are union, you think they will be voting for the dumb bastard?

How about the teamsters that Obumbles just screwed over?

Tell that to those who work in the coal, oil and natural gas industries who have been pounded by Obama's energy and environmental policies. Check comment# 7, and the threads it links.

I was a "blue collar union worker" for 30 plus years and never once in my life have I voted for a democrat.

A good analysis, imho.
