My Atlantic magazine colleague Marc Ambinder has a post on liberal interest groups and unions uniting to create the Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery Now (C-JERN). The aim is to pressure Congress to pass Barack Obama's economic recovery package. The move is noteworthy because this group could possibly become an important player in also pushing Obama to take liberal position's on economic issues once he is in the White House.
