Thomas de Zengotita: A Defining Moment for The Clintons: The Lawsuit Against Nevada's Culinary Workers Union - The Huffington Post

As this link shows, the Clinton campaign is supporting, if not actually inciting, a Nevada State Teachers Association lawsuit against the Culinary Workers Union. The reason?

But will she be able to pull off the kill?
