I remember back in the summer of 1991 I was working as a company man in a Teamsters cannery in Lodi, California, as an emergency medical technician. The politickin' was going on union-wise. That December, the Teamsters, in a contentious election, voted in a guy named Ron Carey as their president.
Remember how that worked out?
Ron Carey served less than a year of his second term. He was accused of engaging in financial improprieties during his re-election campaign in March 1997. As an investigation by federal officials continued, Carey led the union in a nationwide strike against UPS in August 1997 which led to significant contracts gains. But just three months later, Carey took a leave of absence as president due to the ongoing investigation into his 1996 re-election campaign. Carey was barred from running for president the same day he announced his leave of absence, and he was permanently ejected from the union in July 1998. James P. Hoffa was elected president of the Teamsters in December 1998.
So I found this Washington Examiner piece today to be of interest:

As I recover from the Lee District (Fairfax County) fund raiser/party with our baseball opening day theme (April 4), I am still elated by both the straw poll results, which were never in doubt and the surprise announcement that we will be getting a new campaign office for Brian Moran nearby (Mt Vernon/Lee District) and right next to where I drive to and from work. Yea!!! (more on the flip)

With his latest Snafu, Brian Moran has shown, again, that based on the campaign he has run so far, he is arguably not ready to be the Democratic nominee for Governor.

After benefiting from numerous "too-good-to-be-true" angel investments while trading access to President Clinton in the 1990's, Terry McAuliffe (T-Mac) has cashed in his chips and is on a shopping spree. He stopped in Florida and New York first but they wouldn't have him, so he has settled on buying the Democratic nomination for Governor in Virginia. But how do you win a nomination in a state where you have no standing or record and have a list of negatives that makes Jack Abramoff look electable?
