American Business and the Republican Party

American business says it tries to contribute equally to Democrats and Republicans, but this year it's going all out for the GOP.  Big Labor goes for Democrats, and a battle is raging over union organizing, regulation and influence on Capitol Hill.  Also, the Bush Administration's final drive to deregulate, and Cuba, Florida politics and the presidential campaign.

American business says it tries to contribute equally to Democrats and Republicans, but this year it's going all out for the GOP. Big Labor goes for Democrats, and a battle is raging over union organizing, regulation and influence on Capitol Hill. Are businesses looking out for their own best interests? Also, the Bush Administration's final drive to deregulate, and the US embargo on Cuba could be at stake in next week’s elections. We hear about down and dirty campaigning in Florida.
