How do you feel about the Nevada at-large caucus lawsuit?

Hillary's supporters are challenging the at-large caucuses on the strip. How do you feel about that?

this is about sour grapes for Hillary. The law firm hired by the state educators assn. works for Hillary's campaign. Teachers aren't being disenfranchised by the "at large" seats. They get to go to the caucus. It's on a Saturday. Casino workers mostly make low wages and most have to work that day. This lawsuit was filed two days after the Culinary Union announced support of Barack Obama. Catch my drift?

Before she lost the union endorsement.

It's just despicable.

when their wing of the party is threatened by real people. If you can't win on voter appeal ... rig the election. FL, MI and now NV.

I don't know what she was thinking, I really don't. Even if regular people are confused and duped, leadership won't be and leadership that has already complained is going to really go bonkers over this.

Just in case anyone wants to actually read it before voting.

what the hell does that leave???

"what the hell does that leave???"


In Vegas?

Strippers.

This reeks. :puke:

Even if she had nothing to do with it.
Her lack of opposition to it could really get legs.

How pathetically obvious can you get?

It's petty.

With Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama eager to win the Democratic caucuses in Nevada next Saturday, labor unions backing Mr. Obama are in a surprisingly intense, expensive fight with those supporting Mrs. Clinton.

Several pro-Clinton labor unions with small memberships in Nevada have thrown major resources into the state to counter pro-Obama unions with big memberships there. This has caused leaders of the pro-Obama unions to complain that one pro-Clinton union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is bumping against the limits of the law by sending nearly 100 paid employees to Nevada to mobilize its roughly 3,000 members in the state.

Under federal rules, paid union campaign workers are limited to communicating with members of their own unions, although after their paid hours, they can, as volunteers, reach out to anyone.

Officials with two pro-Obama unions — the service employees with 17,500 members in Nevada, and the culinary union — questioned this week why the pro-Clinton union of state, county and municipal employees would need nearly 100 paid employees to work with just 3,000 union members.
