I love watching liberals get fleeced.... ============================================== http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0610/White_House_official_Organiz ed_labor_just_flushed_10_million_of_their_members_money_down_the_toilet_ .html June 08, 2010 Categories:2010 White House official: 'Organized labor just flushed $10 million down the toilet' A senior White House official just called me with a very pointed message for the administration's sometime allies in organized labor, who invested heavily in beating Blanche Lincoln, Obama's candidate, in Arkansas. "Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members' money down the toilet on a pointless exercise," the official said. "If even half that total had been well-targeted and applied in key House races across this country, that could have made a real difference in November." Lincoln relied heavily both on Obama's endorsement, which she advertised relentlessly on radio and in the mail, and on the backing of former President Bill Clinton, who backed her to the hilt. Lincoln foe Bill Halter had the unstinting support of the AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME and other major unions. And labor officials Tuesday evening were already working to spin the narrow loss of their candidate, Bill Halter, as a moral victory, but the cost in money and in the goodwill of the White House may be a steep price to pay for a near miss. --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 10* Origin: (1:226/600) SEEN-BY: 10/1 11/200 331 14/400 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 187 140/1 226/0 SEEN-BY: 236/150 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1410 1418 SEEN-BY: 266/1413 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 712/848 801/161 189 SEEN-BY: 2222/700 2320/100 5030/1256 @PATH: 226/600 123/500 261/38 633/260 267 |
