‘a split between the public employee unions that do so much to finance Democratic campaigns and the gentry liberals who provide Democratic votes in places like Manhattan, the Montgomery County suburbs of Maryland and Northwest Washington, D.C. And in each case, the public employee unions won.’ -Micael Barone

EXCERPTS:

‘Here at the Washington Examiner, we have read with interest editorials written by our friends at The Washington Post denouncing the greed of the Montgomery County teachers unions. Unfortunately, their editorials (and ours) don’t seem to have cut much ice with the county’s gentry liberals, who either stayed home (turnout was a record low) or did the bidding of the unions.’

‘Gentry liberals and public employee unions were allies in the Obama campaign in 2008. But now they’re in a civil war, in city and state politics. This raises the question of whether the Democratic Party favors public employee unions that want more money and less accountability, or gentry liberals and others who care about the quality of public services. Right now, the unions are winning.’
