Obviously some posters in this thread have not read it :evilgrin:

I especially liked this tidbit:

"...Edwards took part in a four-city tour in February for hotel workers. He walked the picket line with strikers at a Sikorsky helicopter plant in Connecticut. He marched with striking janitors at the University of Miami. This month, Edwards helped launch a union-organized anti-Wal-Mart bus tour in Pittsburgh.

"John Edwards is an important ally for the American labor movement, and I am proud to call him a friend of the Teamsters," said Jim Hoffa, the Teamsters president, in introducing Edwards this summer at the union's convention.

Edwards seems to have gotten the Clinton camp's attention. After Edwards was the only potential presidential candidate invited to speak to Change to Win's convention in Las Vegas in March, former President Bill Clinton met privately with labor leaders. The New Republic magazine reported that the former president asked them to hold off on any endorsement decisions...."
