Went to a retirement dinner last Saturday for a guy I worked with for many years. Just for fun, one of the guys brought some ballots he'd made up and we had our own little election. Some people didn't want to participate, and that's fine. Everyone there were current and retired Teamsters, and their families. All had received a letter from the Teamsters
asking us to vote for Obama.
61 votes were cast: 30 McCain, 25 Obama, 6 other.
Now I know this means nothing, and I would guess that nationwide the majority of Teamsters will go for Obama, but it does show that a union's leadership and the rank and file are not always on the same page.
