I’ve just been told by a usually reliable source that two major unions–Service Employees International Union and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union–are meeting today to make national endorsements and they will endorse Barack Obama. This is huge in many respects for Sen. Obama’s campaign. First, the two unions together account for […]

On Trade, A Stark Difference Between Obama and Edwards
Posted on 23 January 2008.
Everyone seems to be focused on the back-and-forth between Sens. Clinton and Obama on…well, you figure it out. But, the most telling moments–and, I believe, the most important subject matter of the entire debate–came when Sen.
