I guess South Carolina has told the Machinists just what they thought of their endorsements ...

International Machinists Union endorses Hillary

And oh yes, the International Machinists Union endorsed Huckabee too, if you recall

What is it about the South Carolinians? First they toss Huckabee's campaign into a tailspin and now, they have given Hillary's a similar punch in the stomach one week later. We all remember when they endorsed both Hilary and Huckabee back when the sun actually shined in Ocean Shores (August or so), right?

And those of you who have been avid Mediawingnuts' fans know I have pushed for both Hillary and Huckabee from about Day One--with some growing warmth for Obama until he decided to tell Hillary that "We like you all right, Hillary!" in a debate two or three weeks ago.

Well, chalk one up for South Carolina and a major defeat for the Machinists--myself included--after the debacle down there on Saturday.

Maybe my New Year's day prediction will be slam-dunked by those rascally South Carolinians as well. Could it be Admiral McCain's son beating Obama in November--or Obama beating Admiral McCain's son?
