Plus 70% of members didnt vote anyway . So in reality he has what 55% of the 30% who voted.  Thats no mandate!!  And the members dont "love" Hoffa. You probably know this but in numerous locals it is the E/Bs who DICTATE to their members who to vote for.  Its a combination of ignorance on the one hand and apathy on the other.  Like someone wrote earlier if Pope and Gegare would have combined forces, it might have been a real race.  No, no one is happy with Hoffa.  They voted against Sandy because they felt she was running alone and had no real shot and they voted against Gegare because he was complicit in messing up Central States.  Not many people voted FOR Hoffa.</p></blockquote><p></p>
