I guess that the "TEAMSTERS" don't qualify as a 'special interest'!!!
But then again, according to Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama, I guess that the American Medical Association, American Bar Association (lawyers in particular), teachers unions, steel unions, auto unions, the gay lobby, the feminist lobby, etc,,,
are NOT 'special interests'!!
Really.
I guess it depends upon what your definition of "special interest" is.. /s
