Two Ohio Democrats tell The Politico newspaper that superdelegates in the state are banding together to get what they want – withholding their endorsements from Obama and Clinton until they receive what is called a concrete proposal to protect American jobs.
The stance is the first evidence of superdelegates joining forces to use their leverage in exchange for political favors. All but one of Ohio’s congressional Democrats remain uncommitted – even though the state voted solidly for Clinton Tuesday.
A spokesman for Congressman Tim Ryan says the group sent a letter to both candidates last week outlining their views about the economy. But he denies there is any collusion to withhold votes.
Once again, I call your attention to the facts surrounding Unions. This is simply more of what I’ve told you before; Unions are flexing their muscles to secure not more jobs in general… which Ohio demonstrably has had from NAFTA, but more UNION jobs. Is Ohio the last place on the planet to wake up to the Unions and the threat they represent to real working families?
Not yet, since it is apparent at least half of Ohio… Democrats, mostly… has not, as of yet, woken up.
