AFL-CIO Pres Forum Moderator Olbermann Discusses Labor and Politics

Keith Olbermann (r) – host of MSNBC’s “Countdown” and the moderator for next Tuesday’s AFL-CIO Presidential Forum – says he is not surprised by the overwhelming response to Tuesday’s forum, in an interview with Mike Hall of the AFL-CIO Now Blog. “An informed audience like the AFL-CIO membership is naturally going to respond to this,” said Olbermann about the more than 2,200 questions submitted at the AFL-CIO’s Working Families Vote 2008 website. In the interview, Olbermann also addresses the 2008 race, the role of unions in politics, and his experience as a union member. Photo from the AFL-CIO Now Blog website
