Labor opens new offensive against GOP's Whitman

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
Organized labor took another step Monday in its quest to defeat billionaire Republican Meg Whitman's bid for governor when the California Labor Federation announced it will launch an "unprecedented effort" to thwart the former eBay CEO and promote Democrat Jerry Brown's campaign.

There's more:
Monday's effort is organized labor's latest multimillion-dollar campaign aimed at Whitman. Other independent-expenditure groups doing the same are Level the Playing Field 2010, which is supported by nurses, university faculty and painters unions; and Working Families 2010, backed by billionaire Ron Burkle, construction trades unions, firefighters and the Service Employees International Union.

Great moments in Blue America.
