59. Again
I am concerned that union members have to pick among Democrats with their superiors watching who have picked another Democrat, theoretical legal remedies nothwithstanding...Most folks will go along to get along...I cited an unbiased source that describes the intimidation inherent in the caucus process...That's why the secret ballot is sacred...We are back to where we began...If you don't think there is room for intimidation in a caucus where your superiors or people you are dependent on can monitor your choices there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

And if you feel that elevating this candidate or that candidate is more important than having folks vote free from fear and intimidation there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion...

The devotion I have to the process, to voting free from fear and intimidation, is more important to me than candidate preference...
