UPDATE:Of course this had nothing to do with the fact that Dems were all onboard the bill to reverse Bush, a bill which had no Republican co-sponsor, and Rep. George Miller (D-CA) had found a way to force a vote on it by November 7. Thereby putting every representative on record as pro- or anti-labor.
