This is a bit surprising. Unions bailing on the Dems?

I believe the key word is "direct." Under the table dealings will probably double.

I had the same thoughts. I can imagine a union, after polling their members who are not on board, publicly saying they are not supporting Obama. Behind the scenes is a different story.

Unions receive too much protection from the Dems to bail on them. They also don’t care if they use their dues against the wishes of their members as long as publicly they can say “we didn’t do that”.
