Sign number one-gajillion-and-three that the fight over labor unions in Wisconsin is way broader and totally national: The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has this ad ready to go in Indiana. Hoosier Democrats in the House have been out of the state for what's going on five weeks, and they're winning. Republicans need them to have a quorum for anything, not just fiscal matters as in Wisconsin.
So far Indiana Democrat have beaten back one union-busting bill and now they're moving on one that would expand charter schools.
Now here comes the national Democratic operation. They're driving straight at Republican Governor Mitch Daniels, who's got presidential aspirations to go with the legislature that can't pass a single bill. "The new ad from the DLCC suggests Democrats think they can use Daniels' legislative plan against him," writes Evan McMorris-Santoro of Talking Points Memo, who got an early look at the spot. "It's also clear that the national Democrats intend to tie their two high-profile legislative fights in Indiana and Wisconsin together." Also, Ohio.
