Who is the greatest backer with influence in controlling Gore? The labor unions. At the convention 31 percent of the delegates were labor people compared to 17 percent of the democratic voting block. So, it was overweighted. The majority of the union people work for the government. If you go to Gores campaign web site and look up the groups listed as "Voter Outreach" you will find "Educators," Environmental Voters," "Ethnic Americans." Unions are arguably the most powerful constituency for Gore and yet he does not recognize them on his campaign website. Why? The Unions had far more delegates than blacks, Hispanics or feminists at the convention. Yet he does not recognize them on his website. Please clarify why he would elect to not acknowledge organized labor in his campaign? Is he ashamed of this part of the family? I believe a lot of thinking union members are voting for Bush. If I were one of those who are backing him heavily though I would question why such a large and prominent constituency isn't recognized as supporters even.
