31. You've misread the strikers' intentions. Whether the media films them or
not, their cause is history-defined and immediately urgent.

A candidate either endorses their position or does not endorse it, and it is the workers' perception of that candidate's understanding of their plight secondary to his/her support for their position that provides the hinge.

Local news or cable outlets can cover or ot not, but the point is the strike, why it is the action undertaken, and what is at stake in its outcome.

Edwards has garnered significant union support. Said support is not media-contingent.

It is from the workers themselves to a candidate who meets their criteria for leadership and empathy.

That's the starting point.
