HILLARY VS. OBAMA, in Selma.

Meanwhile, on another front, Mickey Kaus comments:

The idea of requiring a union, without a secret ballot election, if labor organizers can obtain a majority of “cards” from employees seems like both a big idea and a bad idea. (See below.) If Republicans were smart and confident, wouldn’t they make a big deal of this–drag the debate in Congress out to give it more prominence, highlighting Obama’s support for this change which (more than any tax cut) would alter the very texture of the economy? Voters–even many socially liberal peacenik voters–traditionally worry that if Dems gain full power they will a) serve their special interests and b) cripple American capitalism in a fit of leftish nostalgia. This bill legitimately triggers both fears. … I don’t think this is an endorsement Obama had to make for political reasons. As Dick Morris says, he’s sitting pretty–he can be anything he wants to be. He could be a lot more Gary Hartish! He must want to be an old-fashioned unionizer.

Read the whole thing, as he’s got much more.
