Of physical and financial health, their connections to communities and interest in maintaining the role of the nations's infrastructure, physically and socially, by good government.

Those with more money who are against unions as their competitors are solid GOP and Libertarian, despite getting tax money form government. They hate unions for that reason, more than they hate the poor, and for its role as a vehicle for the poor to enter the middle class.

Others are unable to walk the streets or are so economically disadvantaged as to be left out of politics. The union members are the big brothers and sisters of the rest of society working its way up from the bottom and an example for us to follow.

Is the fix in so tight that he does not need to campaign?

Or is he without a doubt going to lose and he knows it?

Or is he just stupid and lazy?

Something is up. I think a strategic decision has been made and they are sitting back until it's time to play their hand.
