Now you are saying it was "sour grapes." That is certainly more likely than your first theory. OTOH, "alien mind-control" is more likely than the theory that Tauscher is the (always monolithic) unions' bitch.
Have you checked to see if Tauscher's office had a stated reason for opposing CAFTA?

No - I said one option was that the unions got to her. I haven't totally ruled that out. Another option I stated later was that she did not want to give Bush a win going into the congressional elections. T-Rex said that it was not just to blacken Bush's eye but if Tauscher was voting against it there must be a good reason. And if her reason was union pressure or sour grapes, like she is realy going to admit this on her web page. Either way, she is not going against the bill for the good of the nation.
