    Oregonian Tom Leedham challenges Hoffa for top job at Teamsters - By JOSEPH B. FRAZIER, AP, OregonLive.com

    Academics, labor lawyers and other specialists say that while there are issues to discuss, it might take a major scandal to rile up enough of the membership to trounce Hoffa, and that hasn't happened.
