Two sources have told CNN that the Teamsters Union will endorse Barack Obama for President today. That's huge considering a major Rust Belt state, Ohio, is voting in two weeks. Meanwhile white, blue-collar Democrats continue to abandon Clinton.

UPDATE by Rob: Boilermakers too!

Considering that Hoffa last week was honor at an event attended by Bill Clinton.  I'm glad that the Teamsters have not forgotten about NAFTA, or the influx of Mexican truckers (with minimal safety regulations) nipping at their members' jobs.  Way to go IBT!!!

Both of these endorsements mean a lot in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
