3. The national president of the Carpenters Union is a total Repub, and state bodies have been known to

endorse Republicans for U.S. senate or governor.

4. It's unions saying the smart play is back the leader in the polls

Then they can cuddle up with the winner saying we didn't do anything to hurt you. It happened in Ne. 4 years ago. I don't agree with it at all.

6. GR area GOPers have a plan to make MI a right-to-work state, county by county

Somebody must have told those fool carpenters that Obama was gonna take their nailguns.

8. The national president was bestest buddies with Bush and state bodies have endorsed Republicans for

senate and governor in other states. Carpenters elect delegates; the rank-and-file has nothing to do with endorsements.

7. Speaking as a former carpenter

I find this very distressing that they would endorse such a candidate. :(
