I think this was the most interesting part of the article:

While Gore said he supports a national collective bargaining bill to expand officers' rights, Bush said such issues should best be left to state and local authorities.
One union source said that in his in-person interview with union leaders, the governor appeared "ill-prepared" to discuss the critical issue. And he came across as somewhat flippant when asked what he had done to help state troopers in Texas get more bargaining rights.
"He said, 'Well, we make sure they have a heck of a Christmas party.' That went over pretty poorly," the source said.

Look how a little joke gets blown all out of proportion!
