Gephardt Winning Friends Among The Unions

Now this is the height of arrogance. Dick Gephardt's campaign is apparently so full of itself that it has taken to threatening unions if they support Dean instead of Dick.

Kind of makes you wonder how much of his support is truly support and how much is coerced. It also says something about the viability of the Gephardt campaign if he is being reduced to threatening his own constituents in order to ensure his nomination.

And what is Gephardt's reaction to the whole brouhaha? A generic statement supporting collective bargaining for public employees. No response to the accusation, just a general "leave me alone until this goes away."

I almost feel bad for Gephardt. But then I remember that I don't like him politically and that's the end of that.
