Just as it is starting to look like Sen. Hillary Clinton will no doubt win the presidential nomination, two of Michigan's teacher union stalwart/superdelegates made the absolutely courageous decision on principle to throw their support behind the sinking campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.
Even though there is nothing to be gained from it now that everybody knows Clinton will coast to the White House, longtime Michigan Education Association rabblerouser Lou Battiglieri and Joyce Lalonde, a member of the board of directors for the MEA and the National Education Association, turned their backs on self-interest and threw Obama a bone.
If only they had endorsed earlier, perhaps Obama would have had a chance.
