This morning I attended what is known as " Committee Day " for my state 's teacher union where we come together and put together a general direction and more of a focus of priorities for the office for the upcoming year . Well I have been to a couple of these in the past and it was always a joke how I am one of the few Republican union members but I found that today , not to many people were laughing at the joke . It never dawned on me in what this meeting would be like a couple of months before a presidential election . The board room was plastered with " NEA for Obama " posters and various placards for other ONLY Dem candidates .
What type of politics does the narrator have ?
