Yes, I've heard this. The unions are not real happy with obama/dems right now.

The unions have tied their fate to the democrat party - they get what's coming.

What's wrong with The Blaze? Just a news aggregate website.

If this were to happen, Obama is more than sunk.

The Blaze can really biased (in a neo-con kind of way) and there were no links when I read the article.

BUt I do agree that Obama is sunk if he loses union support. I DNC is in North Carolina, state I can't see him winning this time around.

The blaze is Glenn Beck's site and extremely biased to the hard right.

The unions will be there. They always kiss up the Democrats.

lol unions threatening Democrats is worth laughing about...yeah let's boycott Democrats, so we can make sure a Republican can come in and strip union powers. I can't imagine any Democrat taking this serious.

The 2012 Democratic Convention is being held in Charlotte, NC. North Carolina was a swing state in 2008 which Obama won.
