Clinton or Obama? Who will we pick and at what price

Needless to say it has been a very spirited political cycle and we have yet to see a clear favorite from the Democratic Party in the form of Senator Obama or Senator Clinton. The Republicans have seemed to get back their lock-step way to their convention behind John McCain. While most of Labor knows the lack of a voting record for Labor by Senator McCain we direct our attention to the Democrats. Both of them have amassed a strong voting record for Labor we can see some differences between them. Senator Obama comes from the South Side of Chicago and knows the power of Labor and knows the activist side since he was one for some time. Senator Clinton is from New York and the labor movement has called her their sister in the struggle. From here the difference begins, while Senator Obama has only been in the U.S. Senate a short time he has shown his allegiance to Labor by supporting fair trade, the Employee Free Choice Act and proposing health care reform. He has had Labor friendly people on his campaign and was wildly accepted at the AFL-CIO Debate. Yes, it was in Chicago and yes I was mildly disappointed he "stole the show" from the candidate I supported-John Edwards. Senator Clinton supports Employee Free Choice, fair trade and health care reform yet she has a chief-strategist on her campaign by the name of Mark Penn. For those of you who are not aware Mr. Penn is the CEO of a firm that helps companies in Union Avoidance and public relations. In the event you have never heard of the term Union Avoidance it is the 21st Century term to a term we are fully aware of-Union Busting.
Personally, I have a sincere issue with a person saying they are for Labor 100% yet they hire a political strategist that has made millions on telling companies that Unions are bad and they must get rid of them in order to be profitable. At least that is what I have been told they tell them. However, if that person would to get the nomination of the Democratic Party I would be forced to vote for that person on the hope they would see the error of their ways and fire that Union Busting con-artist.
I may sound a little raw about this but having just come through contract negotiations with a "Union Friendly" company that Penn has worked with but the fact remains the same. You would not have your children watched by a baby sitter that has been convinced of sexually abusing children. So, why should we have a Union Buster in a position of a authority in a campaign of an individual who is asking for and received Union support.
I look forward to any comments but please understand that I am a Democrat because of what they do for Labor. If we stand together we can get the person we want in November and stronger and better next 4 years.
