Given the recently reported significance of Obama's need to cut into support for John Edwards, one might almost think something like this was planted by someone wanting to help Obama and hurt Hillary. Either way, it certainly doesn't hurt Obama.
Former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) has made support for and from organized labor one of the centerpieces of his 2008 presidential campaign, but some labor officials say Edwards is new to their cause and the former senator’s rhetoric is at odds with his record.
With the Democratic candidates set to debate Thursday night in Nevada, a state where labor still carries considerable clout, Edwards’s rivals and the unions backing them are criticizing the former senator’s past support for issues that are anathema to the labor community.
