How much did labor groups spend in 2008?
We're still working through the campaign finance reports, but here are the numbers Dome has collected so far on spending in state races by unions and employee associations:
National Education Association: $1,935,703
Service Employees International Union: $1,810,569
International Brotherhood of Teamsters: $334,117
N.C. Association of Educators: $267,230
State Employees Association of N.C.: $194,800
United Food and Commercial Workers Union: $116,500
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: $41,500
Communications Workers of America: $18,750
N.C. Chapter of the AFL-CIO: $4,000
That adds up to $4.7 million for the 2008 cycle. However, it does not take into account money given by unions to groups such as the Democratic Governors Association, which also spent heavily here.
It also does not include spending in the U.S. Senate race.

Re: Is it any wonder why NC remains so democrat oppressed?
Not for big oil, big drug and NRCC lack of trying.
Shall we play the who spent more here game?
