The Democrats seem to have confused a corporation that provides jobs (and, by the way, is now toeing their line on emergency contraceptives, the environment, and health care) for a political opponent. At least Mayor Daley gets it ($): if you keep legally harassing Wal-Mart about wages, they’ll just up and leave.
It is worth noting, as Mr. Hogberg often does, that corporations often don’t understand that appeasing the left is not a fruitful strategy. Wal-Mart has given many inches, and will end up having to give miles.
