Who's to blame for Samuel Alito?

It's easy to point fingers at Democrats who won't filibuster, but they weren't alone in getting us here.

    Without Labor there can be no Progressive Movement

    I can only refer people to Richard Frank's book, What Happened to Kansas? In the promotional tour, he was asked about this idea of campaign events and the like. The problem for the Democrats is that without labor, where are they going to go for a sustained campaign?

    Republicans have done well in the cable TV world, C-SPAN, and the cyber world. All the while, real people in the labor movement can get almost no toehold in this media operation. Someone--presumably the Democrats--will need to restore organized labor to a position where they are noticed by the general public.
