The AFL-CIO, convinced that its TV ads weren’t getting anywhere
with voters, is focusing its energy and millions of dollars on
get-out-the-vote initiatives in California, Missouri, Florida,
Massachusetts, Michigan and Illinois. Two years ago, those
union-sponsored get-out-the-vote projects could be directly tied to

in Michigan, where the unions and Democrats pooled their resources
to defeat Sen.

“They’re trying to replicate that success elsewhere this time,” says a Democratic National Committee staffer. “We’re suggesting staging sites, but they’re really doing this on their own. We know it’s only going to help us, we aren’t worried at all.”
DNC officials expressed some concern that Big Labor’s cash wasn’t going to help with expensive media buys in some urban centers, according to the DNC-er. But those concerns were put to rest after the officials saw the AFL-CIO’s plans for its ground attack.
