Breaking just moments ago is another sign of the incredible momentum Elaine Marshall's campaign for U.S. Senate has. Local Teamsters out of Charlotte are rejecting the national's endorsement of Cal Cunningham and instead backing Secretary of State Elaine Marshall.

The endorsement stems from deep frustration on the ground that the...
