The Teamsters decided to wait and endorse until after they thought the race was over. You can read many of the replied upthread to see why, but basically they did not want to have to re-endorse after their endorsed candidate lost. So the Teamster endorsement is less about who the Teamsters want to support, and more about who they think the Democratic primary voters support. Now, if you believe that voters are voting for Obama over Clinton because she is a woman, than I suppose you can say that the Teamsters' endorsement is the result of that, but it would be indirect. That said, although there is certainly a portion of the Democratic electorate voting for Obama over Clinton because she is a woman, the vast majority are not.
