let me re-phrase that, what I meant was that a potential democratic candidate has to talk to the union membership. The unions themselves are not the entities that vote, nor are they convincing their members adequately that the GOP is no good for them.

A democratic candidate needs to get to the places where people work for a living, and still wonder if the dream of home ownership is beyond them as housing skyrockets. He or she needs to talk to the folks who thought the Contract on America was going to make things great and ended up following it down a rabbit hole.
