The American Federation of Teachers chose the vice president over Democratic foe Bill Bradley and Republican Gov. George W. Bush, both of whom have supported some form of private school vouchers. Vouchers, which provide public money for private education, have long been opposed by the union, which represents nearly a million teachers.
