Race is one factor in Obama's nonsupport

John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, has written a provocative article about the Presidential race and whether the deciding factor will be the color of Barack Obama’s skin. From a union standpoint, Barack is on the right side of every issue while John McCann is fundamentally opposed to the issue of union rights. As John Gage says, “There are 100 good reasons to vote for Barack Obama and one really bad reason to vote against him”. But there is ample evidence to suggest that if Barack isn’t ahead by at least 6 points on Election Day, he will lose the election. I am more optimistic and believe that union members will do the right thing and send Barack Obama to the White House. Read John Gage’s article here: Race is one factor in Obama's nonsupport
