Horserace politics: Let the campaign season begin

The big union of (mostly) government employees, AFSCME, is putting $1.5 million behind this campaign message. I like it. It has the merit of being true.

Because at root I'm an organizing and campaigns geek, as we head toward the November elections, my interest in the mechanics of politics will overwhelm my attempts to understand and explain issues and policy in our limping democracy. It happens every election season. I've decided to post these thoughts occasionally under the general title Horserace Politics til I get them out of my system. Expect a lot of these posts over the summer and fall.
