SAG negotiating committee punts strike vote to board

Because power has shifted within the Screen Actors Guild, the union's negotiating committee recommended a strike to the guild's national board from their members.
Though the negotiating committee has the power to call a strike but deferred the matter to the board. So now the new board will take up the issue Oct. 18, but its not clear if the board's newly elected directors will be able to oppose a strike authorization from the negotiation committee.

It seems as though the negotiating committee was pushing for a strike to be called from the board so that if something goes wrong, the board will be to blamed and the newly elected board members would suffer from that.

I feel this is good PR because this article I had reveals something negative of the negotiation committee.

McCain debate

OK, so what was McCain thinking when he went out more or less attacking Obama? What reaction is he looking to get from American voters? Even more, Obama came right back showing that he was able to stand his ground. Yes, McCain is has experience and knowledge, but for his best iterest he shouldnt attack the other candidate in the first debate unless for sure he knew Obama couldnt back himself. So, I think McCain's campaign managers should re-think what he says for the next debate.
