The Battle for Nevada

imagine that the GOP allowed voting to happen at the stock market where no one had to leave work or skip lunch, but didn't allow it at the GM plant.

that's what Obama wants.

I hope all this controversy the Clintons have caused creates a voter backlash against them. I sincerely hope and pray no one will be influenced with her outright lies and distortions. Why can't she just focus on HER vision and plan for America. Why does she resort to attacking A FELLOW DEMOCRAT? If you guys elect a clinton presidency, this kind of bs is all you have to look forward to.

It just goes to show you Hillary's campaign will do anything to win. I don't trust her and I don't think there is any way that she can get elected anyway. So many people just don't like her. My vote is for Obama, because the things I'm hearing from co-workers, friends, etc (many independent and some Republicans) they really like him alot. I think he is far more supported than her.

To stop the "VENOM" of Slick Willy and Hillary all stops will have to be pulled out, the Clinton's are already trying to stop the culinary workers in Las Vegas to have their right to caucus stopped !!!
Hillary will do anything to win she does not allow anyone to defeat her and will go to any lengths to get it done, "ANYTHING" !!!!

This lawsuit is just an embarrassment to the state. A Nevada union, an elected Nevada leader, and elected leaders of the Clark County Democratic Party ARE SUEING the State Party because their candidates (make no mistake, Hillary is not in this alone, there are Edwards supporters as plaintiffs too) didn’t get the Culinary nod. The plaintiffs were at the state meeting when these at-large caucus sites were approved and they said nothing then. They knew, and now they move to disenfranchise.

I’m just disgusted with these politics as usual. I’ve grown up in Nevada watching these clowns operate and what do they do when the eyes of the nation are on our state…they pull a play out of the Republican handbook. The backlash will be a more untied opposition, and that just goes to show that these plaintiffs and the Hillary Nevada Team are truly sophomoric!

I don't see anything wrong with the lawsuit. Why is a single union given so much power? Why are special accomodations given to these people to participate?

Anybody that works near the stip can show up and vote at these caucus sites:
"Those sites are also open to any shift worker, from cab drivers to employees at non-union casinos, on duty midday Saturday within a 2-½ mile radius of the nine casino caucuses. They must present identification showing that they work on or near Las Vegas Boulevard, as the "Strip" is officially titled."

Have you ever been in Las Vegas? Parking isn't exactly the most convenient; thus, it makes it very difficult for anybody to go and participate in the process unless you work at a casino.

Casino workers are no different from anyone else working at a mall, school, or any other restaurant. They should be given no special treatment.

In addition, the format of the caucus limits the ability of people to vote for who they truly support. Union leaders will be at the caucus site, and workers will be pressured to support the union's candidate unless you want to against your union in front of your leaders and coworkers. That is not democracy!!!!

whats interesting Hillary was fine with the rules untill the union decided to go with obama. in fact she may have even helped set up the rules for the casino caucus One of her campaign mgrs is larry craigs son
larry helped set up the rules for this caucas
in addition there are a total of 1754 other places people can go besides the casinos
so its not like it makes it unfair for other voters

she made her bed and now that it might work against her she is having her supporters sue

just one more example of why we need someone other then a bush or a clinton in office
isnt 20 years of this enough

where was the press reporting when in Iowa nurses who are 96% female in iowa could not vote that evening beacuse they had to work the evening shift.
they would have all voted for senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
