The president is committing major political resources in the dust-up between the governor and state legislature against government labor unions.
Question: why is he spending political capital, seemingly prematurely and risking a major political defeat, in what is surely a local conflict?
Answer: if he does not win Wisconsin, he will not get reelected.
Yes, there are a lot of protestors, not to mention sleepovers in the capitol building. However, these are not spontaneous expressions of support for government employee labor unions; these are being bused in from other states and carefully orchestrated by political operatives and organizations slated to work on the President’s reelection campaign in 2012.
