Ruh roh.
First the SEIU now the Teamsters. Not good for 'Team Hillary'.
Her fellow travelers are shunning her like a leper.

Hillary is discovering she has no loyal supporters. She has people who fear her, people she has bought, and people who owe her favors - but no one truly loyal to her cause. That’s what happens when you lead with fear and manipulation. Isn’t it wonderful to watch?

And that should about finish this thing off. The only thing left is for Bill to endorse Obama. He might as well...

Apart from the obvious horror show that this whole thing is ... It’s pretty funny to see the Teamsters commit suicide as the Dems push for Amnesty. All those millions of scab workers, who don’t give a crap about unions, will bust apart the unions.

But she could still STEAL it....
The turmoil surrounding the 1968 electoral campaign led to reforms in the nominating process. After President Lyndon Johnson stunned the nation by announcing that he would not run for re-election, the Democratic nomination was up for grabs. Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy won 11 of the 15 primaries that were contested on the Democratic side and Robert Kennedy won the California primary just hours before being gunned down by an assassin. But Vice-President Hubert Humphrey won the nomination at the Party’s contentious and violent convention in Chicago. Humphrey did not win or even campaign in any primary elections and did not announce his intention to run for President until March of 1968.

And it comes on back of the shellacking she received last night to pile on. Plus to be announced in Texas for maximum impact there.
I wouldn't want to be the one to give her the news.
