16. If I'm Obama I win working class voters by exploiting those parts of his speech.
I would.

Even the younger voters are pro union.

Women who want equal pay to their male counterparts support unions.

Thus far, the McCain Palin ticket support issues that only thrity percent of the public agrees with. That their anti Roe V Wade stance and their anti Union stances.

4. He bashed unions a couple of times tonight. And the audience didn't see the applause sign.
They hesitated when he said he'd attack those union bosses.

And said he'd fight teachers' unions too.

I hope it wakes people up to just who John Sidney McCain III is working for.

10. I saw that too
I'm a union member and a few people are on the fence in this election as they think McBoss is pro union.





I can't wait to see them tomorrow.

11. That was mixed
That was a very confusing moment for that crowd. It was as if they really didn't want him to go there.

but then the Simian-in-Chief trashed unions in 2004 and that was a close race, plus stolen OH election and well... you know the rest.
