Nevada Union Launches Obama Ground War
Las Vegas, NV -- Forty-eight hours to go before Saturday's Democratic caucuses and it's strictly battle-station mode at the headquarters of the 60,000 member Culinary Workers Union. By 8:30 a.m., more than 250 union staff and workers -- mostly Latino maids, cooks, and janitors who are the brawn and muscle of Sin City's mega-resorts -- are bunched together in a second story meeting room prepping for one more twelve-hour shift knocking on the doors of fellow members and turning them out to caucus for Barack Obama.

1. The election is a must win for the culinary union.
They've invested too much of their reputation. Obama has to win or they look bad.

2. That union sure works hard for their candidate...
...I can't wait to see the result of this. It could be a really interesting study of "Unions Today in the United States". Do they still have power or no?
