AFL-CIO Invites McCain To Its Roundtables

01 Apr 2008 02:27 pm

The AFL-CIO has issued an "invitation" to John McCain, asking him to attend one of their worker roundtables that just happen to coincide with his Service To America tour. The first roundtable takes place tomorrow in Annapolis, just after McCain is scheduled to finish speaking at Army-Navy stadium there. Additional roundtables are scheduled for Jacksonville on Thursday and for Prescott, AZ on Saturday.

This isn't a friendly invite, of course, but is a preview of the way the AFL-CIO will bracket McCain's campaign tours throughout the country through the fall.

I'd like to think McCain has the cojones to show up. Most labor members are the potential voters he needs: socially moderate, working-class. It would show his independence.
