The stronger Democratic candidate is now Gephardt. The best thing that has happened to him is the Unions deserting him. Do not confuse this with the union members deserting him. Union leaders around the country are assholes and in many cases have wrecked the companies their members worked for. The UAW is in the process of destroying the American car companies to the degree that they are flat out not competitive with Toyota, Honda, and now even that two bit Korean company called Hyundai. We are very close to the point where American cars have less than half the American market. Thanx in large part to the UAW.
