Hillary leads in NV initial preference

Based on early entrance polls, Clinton has a significant lead in the initial preference for the Democratic Nevada caucuses.

But this is initial preference only (before second-choice realignment).

Yeah, but there is not going to be much realignment in NV. If this entrance data is true, I guess she'll win.

What the hell am I going to do if she wins this nomination?

CNN has a camera shot from inside one of the casino caucus sites while people were coming in. Looks like the two groups for the two front runners were forming on opposite sides of the room - and the two groups looked like roughly equal sizes.

So... where is all this voter suppression Bill is trying to talk about?

Let's hope she wins. She is the best candidate!! My faith in the American people will be restored if she wins...

Well, the latest poll today - taken after the Obama culinary endorsement - showed Hillary with a 10 point lead. So isn't she the expected winner?

Of course, I'm sure some in the media will say that if Hillary wins it is a big surprise. But, if memory serves, Edwards got the culinary union back in 2004, but lost to Kerry. So I don't know why the media built up this endorsement so much. Hillary has ALWAYS LED in the polls in Nevada and was expected to win big. If Obama can close the gap to single digits that should be newsworthy!

The vote at Ceaser's Palace is 86 Senator Obama with 17 delegates. 80 for Hillary Clinton with 16 delegates. Of interest, at the beginning of the caucus some of the people on the Clinton said went over to the Obama side. Yeah!!!!!! GO OBAMA GO!! Everone, please vote for Sentator Obama - the true representative who can bring positive change!!!

The "Clintons" always knew they had strong support in the Culinary Union. They built up the illusion of an advantage for Senator Obama with the phony "suppression" allegations and the court case, and now will create an "against all odds" scenario instead of the 20 point collapse that is the reality. And the media eats it all up.

Go Hillary, we need a real candidate who can bring real change, we need an experienced leader. Not an idealist with no real accomplishments and no history of actual change.

Hillary makes me want to vomit.
She'll never be the president. Lucky for the Repubs who might run against her.
I'm proud to be a woman who will NEVER vote for Hillary!!

It is very disappointing Nevada voters do not see Hillary as a lying, dirty politics machine. Hope the upcoming states are smarter than that!!! Hope Nevada is satisfied IF Hillary wins the General then does nothing for them....hahahaha

After 7 years of the worst President in American history, George Bush, it is hard to imagine how the Democrats could fail to win the presidency in 2008.

Uh, oh...A massive primary fight between two hot candidates followed by the selection of an unelectable candidate - Hilary Clinton. There are enough people in the Democratic party, like me, who will not vote for her because we think she makes terrible decisions. Eight more years of Republicans!

Go Hillary! If you call them liars...i am sure you probably voted for Bush! We need someone that can lead the country now....not someone that will need help of others to lead our country as soon as he gets in office. I might say with a messy desk to take care of first thing. It would be better suited for Obama to be a VP to Hillary. VOTE FOR HILLARY then vote for OBAMA for VP....That is a Awesome team!

as an antiwar Democrat I steadfastly REFUSE to support Hillary. If Obama doesn't get the nomination, I will vote for Bloomberg or sit this one out, just as I did last election.

Yea, the union members voted their mind. The culinary union thought that workers would follow their orders, didn't go that way. The members are the strength of the union. This vote indicates that the union should not have endorsed anybody, their members were equally for Clinton and Obama. Listen to the people, they know what's for real.

Lets hope they count ALL the votes. One good thing, there is still the possibility Obama won New Hampshire. Let's wait and see. I do not trust the Clintons and their shinanigans. IF America ends up making Hillary and her dusgusting husband the nominee(s) we are in deep trouble. And Americans will have no one to blame but themselves. What a pity the people in Nevada want to hang on to the same BS the Clintons provided during the 90s. Certainly not a forwward-looking state. Guess the Clintons convinced they with they lies and propaganda. South Carolina, I sincerely hope you see those horrible Clintons for what the are and vote for a man of high integrity, honesty, and leadship skills. Damned, are we going to have to endure looking at that ugly misshapen oversized pear in pantsuits for the next four years? Not to mention the rabid pitbull with the big red nose and huge bags under his eyes? YUCK!! Excuse me while I go upchuck!

Senator Obama would never compromise his integrity and honesty to serve as this liar's VP. Maybe Hillary will choose her sex predator and crazed pittbull of a husband as her VP. The Clinton lovers would just love this. Remember, he has already inserted himself into her ticket. What a waste of votes!! Not to worry, tho, we still have several states with truly intelligent people who truly want postive change for our country. This is only the 3rd state, we still have 47 to go.

I am 25 have served honorably in the U.S. Navy , and now have developed a heart condition that requires surgery. My insurance dropped me, and I cannot have the surgery without it. No outside help is available to me and I cannot have the surgery done, the outcome needless to say looks grim. We need to do something about this and so much more, having said that, I refuse to see this happen to anyone else. And so I have and will continue to support Hillary Clinton.
