A very lucid comment from Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) about card check, to Fox News yesterday:

"You take away the arbitration issue, and you still have the ‘card check’, so that doesn’t work. You take away the ‘card check’ and you still have the arbitration problem. And if both go away, you’re left with nothing. It’s a fool’s errand to do this. I just don’t see an agreement happening,” Nelson said."

Let's hope party-switcher Arlen Specter puts his plans to find a compromise on the back burner.
