Clinton's only hope of winning a majority of the delegates is to overtake Obama's elected delegate lead by winning the bulk of the remaining superdelegates...
...laughed it off as the man's embarrassed comrades hustled him out of the hall. The scene was indicative, though, of the Illinois Senator's shaky first steps with labor. A year ago, many pundits predicted that John Edwards' populist message and tireless union wooing could earn him the bulk of labor endorsements, with Hillary Clinton's establishment mantle securing the rest.

Nicaraguan entrepreneurs often travel to Miami to buy used clothing in bulk, and ship it back home to sell for a hefty profit. According to an investigation by Nicaraguan economist Alejandro Arauz, most such apparel is imported into Nicaragua as "donations" to skirt commercial taxes, then resold for a 200 percent profit. To further cut costs, the used clothing purchased in the U.S. is bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, the garments picked over and left behind at Goodwill and then sold...
