"McCaskill Offers Dire Take on Employee Free Choice Act"-- headline on Huffington Post . " I'm not sure if we have the votes ," is what centrist Dem. Sen. McCaskill says. What she mean "we"? ...   P.S.: It actually reads to me as if McCaskill successfully ducked taking a stand on the "card check" bill itself. But you make the call . ... P.P.S.: If the Dems don't have the votes for "card check" in the bag, I don't quite understand the strategy behind labor's blustery show  of confidence . ("We are not worried at all.") Sure, the unions would like to have a strong hand in any backroom negotiations over a compromise. And they don't want wavering Dems like McCaskill to think they have permission to be the Senator who puts 60 votes out of reach. But won't labor look like a paper tiger if the votes aren't there? ... P.P.P.S.: Then again, labor thought it had the votes of enough workers at Nissan's Tennessee plant too, before losing by a 2-1 margin. Damn secret ballot . ...

Update: Still no announcement from HuffPo inviting union organizers to start collecting cards from the website's Brentwood and Soho employees.  Expected soon, because Employee Free Choice is On the Move ! ... 11:24 P.M.
