He’s out of contention for any national office, so far as I am concerned. This is caving in to Union Goon tactics.
To be honest, I can’t figure out any meaning to the idea of the governor “fighting for” the bill. Either it’s going to arrive at his desk or it won’t and that’s up to the legiscritters. It’s rather unseemly, actually, for a governor (or president) to be hounding a legislature like it was a balky dog he was trying to get to do a trick. If it arrives, everyone knows he’ll give it the nod.
