Breaking News: Obama Supporters Scuttle Hillary’s CTA Endorsement!
By Dave Rand

Score a big behind the scenes victory for Obama’s California campaign
today. Word is leaking out that CTA’s membership staged an outright
mutiny at Los Angeles’ Bonaventure Hotel and bucked its own Board’s
attempt to railroad through an early endorsement for Hillary.
CTA’s elites apparently got a big wake up call when their effort to
crown Hillary as the official choice of California’s teachers was
upended by overwhelming resistance from rank and file Obama supporters. The vaunted pre Feb 5th CTA endorsement – which was widely expected to go Clinton’s way – appears to now be postponed to April (when we will all be on the edge of our seats, I am sure).

The Hillary repudiation at CTA is more than just inside baseball.
This could portend an erosion of support among powerful constituencies that are supposed to be the bedrock of Clinton’s California operation. Add this development with Obama’s superior California ground game, and a big bounce coming out of South Carolina, and he may have enough steam to pull off a victory in the Golden state.

What is the CTA? The article doesn’t elaborate.
