The article is worth the read. It describes the troubles unions in Delaware are having getting members to volunteer for campaigning. Apparently union members have a much higher rate of unemployment than non union workers. Could make things interesting come November 2nd. Maybe we'll see a new generation of Reagan Democrats.

Interesting....
As I said on another thread. The people projecting the vote now are the same people who had Castle winning the primary. Why would they be more accurate this time?

When your neighbor is out of work, its a recession.
When you lose your job, its a depression.
When the Democrats lose their jobs, its a recovery.

Love the comment from the union dope upset that he is paying for his reps Caddy. I think there is going to be a mutiny when the union rank and file find out their pensions were raided to fund Dim party activity. It will be fun.

“Man. You know you’re a REAL loser when you are both a union member AND a DemocRAT.”

And out of work. And forced to campaign for the people that put you out of work. And you will vote for them again....

More like a shark feeding frenzy when they find out how much was spent on the loosing campaigns. How is the union leadership going to explain this?

Yes, and; they are close to what I heard Las Vegas union workers say in mid September. I cannot recall if the unemployment rate was 22.9 % or higher in Vegas, but; it was high. I heard head bartenders, cab owners, to every union job in the casinos there complain about Obama. That is unusual, as in 2008 they were all talking how he/Obama was going to make life great for them. The truth or at least what these folks said they believe is the truth is that the owners will just bankrupt leaving them high and dry in the desert. I tend to believe folks who look me in the eye and seem serious.

I honestly cannot see why any American citizen could vote for the Democratic Party at this point.

They have done so much damage to this nation, and the propaganda machine still encourages people to vote for economic suicide.
