Votelaw, Edward Still's blog on law and politics

Harold Meyerson has an op-ed in today's Washington Post, "Union Do's and Don'ts For the Democrats." He suggests that labor's GOTV efforts have been good for the Democratic Party in increasing turnout and protecting the party's candidates from GOP onslaughts.

The labor movement wanted to bring this type of operation to the rest of the Democratic base through the Partnership for America's Families. Unfortunately, dissention over the goals of the PAF within the labor movement have put the program in danger.
