More Gore
Literally, as he would say, weightily. Plus: AFL-CIO cash and delivery.
(Page 2 of 2)
p> RENEWED LABOR br> 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 the victory of Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, where the unions and Democrats pooled their resources to defeat Sen. Spencer Abraham . /p>"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.
