1. It is hard, politically, to stand against students, teachers, firemen
and police officers when they are standing together....

2. Yeah but in US politics this is a classic
career politicos get behind it only when it is obvious they'd better do that.

4. By the way Obama, for very good reasons, will be the last

8. As Hartman likes to quip
they are getting behind the train... And that is the usual. They must be starting to realize... these people ARE serious. Oh and the President, for political reasons (Fed\state balance) will be the last one to "take sides."

7. Democrats who want to remain elected better support the unions
As Rachel very accurately demonstrated on her show tonight, unions are the bread and butter of Democratic fundraising and organizing.
