I am new to politics and so i apologize for this silly question. Today, i heard that Obama won the support of a very large union whom umbrellas a large # of people across America, but i am curious, how does this translate to votes in the end? Are these union workers obligated to go out and select Obama during voting day? How does this Union inform their workers that they must all support Obama, do they just put up fliers and send out emails and if the workers want to go out and suport then so be it otherwise do whatever you want?
I gather, by a large union supporting a candidate it gives those workers a decisive voice on who they "could" vote for since they, as workers, may not know, or care for, the nitty-gritty specifics of how it benefits them in the end and so with the Union entity putting their weight behind a candidate these workers can feel more assured when going out to vote that this candidate is the best choice for them (because the company says so)...but they, as workers, don't necessarily have to vote that way... Is this a correct assumption?
Wow, this Obama fellow is becoming quite the beacon of popularity. He seems genuinely obsessed to need to make a mark as an amazing president! He's unique, i give him that! My vote would be for him if i was American too.
Thanks everyone.
