I understand where the other unions were coming from. THe culinary workers union is a bully and other unions feel slighted by their tactics. However, they should have known last year that the Culinary Workers Union had effectively turned the Nevada Caucus into the Culinary Workers Caucus and should have complained then.

In any case, Obama is little substance, all hype. The key to his success: a freshness, a lack of record to run on, the constant repetition of simple feel-good platitudes that lull listeners into a sense of trust and induce in them a yearning to believe. No wonder Barack Obama is so popular among denizens of Hollywood like Oprah: they certainly have an eye for those who can create an image, can generate a buzz that compels others to suspend their disbelief, and who can induce a trance-like stargazing. But the fact is that Barack Obama does have a record to run on and its a record of vote dodging and triangulation. Barack Obama talks about the audacity of hope... but how about the audacity to show up and vote.. and not criticize others over resolutions you conveniently missed while campaigning.

Oh.. Mr. Clean ethics also collects the most from the healthcare lobby and polluters like Exelon Corp. who would love for Yucca to remain active.
