year essentially anywhere that republicans have governing authority, from washington, d.c., to madison, wisconsin, to columbus, ohio, to anywhere you noticed a teacher picketing or a firefighter writing a letter to the editor. it has been a tough year for union rights. democrats will not be making it any easier on unions when they convene in charlotte, north carolina, since that is a city without a single unionized hotel. this is not some sort of secret that they realized after the fact. democrats made their decision to hold their convention in charlotte in full knowledge of the union rights problem that it presents. but they decided to go there anyway. they decided to go there anyway because north carolina is really important to them. really important specifically to barack obama's re-election effort. in the 2008 presidential election, you may remember that the day before election day, then-candidate barack obama's grandmother, the woman who had raised him, died in hawaii. and that night, the night before election day, election eve with the on-air countdown clocks already ticking down the number
