2nd April 2008

Members of the Mississippi AFL-CIO joined progressive activists outside a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser at the University Club in Jackson for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) earlier this week. The event is the latest in which union members around the country show up at McCain events to ensure the glowing media coverage he typically receives is balanced by the reality of his anti-worker record.

Despite his image as a “maverick,” McCain has been a loyal backer for Bush’s priorities—voting with Bush 89 percent of the time and 95 percent in 2007. McCain's attempt to win a third term for the Bush agenda has prompted this new nickname: McSame.

McCain hopes to concentrate on his biography this week, including his military record.
