		<description>The Clintons agreed to this long ago and they didn&#039;t seem to have a problem with it until Obama became a viable candidate with strong support.  Once he got the endorsement of the Culinary Workers Union, they cried foul.

After Obama&#039;s Iowa win, Clinton&#039;s camp dismissed the caucus approach and complained about the results.  Now they&#039;re doing it again before the Nevada caucus even happens.

When the Democratic party ruled to strip Michigan of its delegates for moving up their election date, most of the candidates removed their names from the ballot in accordance with the ruling...while Hillary left hers on.

Anyone see a pattern emerging?

When Obama lost New Hampshire, he retained his dignity and did not complain or contest the results.  He cut his losses and moved forward.

And in the end, that&#039;s really what this election comes down to: moving on and looking forward.

Obama/Edwards &#039;08.</description>

		<description>LIKE IT OR NOT,
When it comes to Voting, ILLEGAL ALIENS have more right than the Law abiding Citizens of this Country.
In Fact, they are even PROTECTED and are ENCOURAGED to Vote by bringing the Polling Stations to their Work Places.

VERY soon you will find that the Law abiding Citizens of this country are SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.!

If the Courts can allow this for the DNC they should also allow this for the GOP.
If it can be allowed in NEVADA, then allow it for ALL states.
If it can be allowed for a certain trade, let it be available to ALL trades of low and middle income hard working people of this country.

Can We Have A Fair Election ????????

No Vote should be cast without Proof of CITIZENSHIP !!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s outrageous for the Clintons to try to change the rules in the middle of the game.

I would not believe that they had nothing to do with it.
The couple plays soft and hard roles as needed in this game.
The stakes are too high for them to lose.
But we have a choice.
Obama over Hillary!</description>

		<description>Weez   January 17, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Every time CNN gives Bill Clinton 10 paragraphs to spout his opinions, you should also give Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards an equal amount of space to voice theirs. I would much prefer to hear from honest, moral spouses…not someone who wagged his finger at me as he lied, then lied again under oath. It&#039;s beyond me why anyone would care what Bill Clinton says in his increasingly desperate attempt to spend eight more years in the White House.</description>

		<description>Alberto   January 17, 2008 1:09 pm ET

The world finally saw the real Bill Clinton. The man who has the best relations with the Bushs. The man who calls Obama revolution a fairytale. The man who lures black votes by lying to the minorities. The man who is he biggest liar and manipulator. The man who brought moral disgrace to US Presidency.
To hell with the Clintons!
 ___
I AGREE WITH ALBERTO. STOP WITH THE SUPPORTING BILLARY AND BUBBA CLINTON, CNN. I BET WOLF BLITZER IS BEHIND THIS BLATANT EFFORT TO GIVE BILLARY THE WHITE HOUSE AND MAKE IT LOOK DIRTY AGAIN.

I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA, JOHN EDWARDS, OR HUCKABEE. OTHERWISE, I STAY AT HOME. NO BILLARY FOR THIS FORMER DEMOCRAT.</description>

		<description>While I am a Democrat, I find this lawsuit embarrassing for a party which has fought vigorously to remove barriers to voting.  Haven&#039;t we had enough of Republican attempts to deny the rights of people to vote - and have their votes counted (e.g. Florida in &#039;00, Ohio in &#039;04).  We are a party of ENfranchisement, not DISenfranchisement.  Let the people vote!</description>

		<description>WHO IS RUNNING THIS RACE? BILL OR HILLARY? OR BOTH?

People i went to a job interview today,i wanted to be hired as a pilot.
When i was asked if i had previous job experience in flying planes;i said of course,since i´ve been married for 35 years to a pilot.

Now u can see how stupid u sound everytime u talk about Clinton´s experience!!That´s NONSENSE!!

My psychology professor used to say u can tell a lie to urself so ooften that u start to think this lie is a truth.
Another tactic used in communication or marketing is to  play / repeat a  message or announcement on the air over and over again until people start liking it or believing it.

ASk urself why is it that at the beginning i didn´t like that song but as they played it over and over on radioor tvs...i started to like it!! 
 PLEASE DON´T GET PUNKED BY BILLARY CLINTON

THAT GIRL HAS NOT MUCH EXPERIENCE AS OBAMA!! as a matter of fact, Obama has more exoerience than Clinton.

Since i don´t want to punk u either,i will let u do ur own research!!!</description>

		<description>Before the next cycle of Democratic Caucuses and Primaries the DNC needs to make some changes.

Caucuses need to be outlawed.  Is this Democratic?  Forcing workers at a jobsite to stand in clusters for the candidate they support while their supervisors, shop stewards and employers look on and support perhaps another candidate?  How more intimidating can it get?  The thought of losing one&#039;s job will trump any support a person has for a different candidate!  This is absolutely NOT Democratic, and the Democratic Party should outlaw it.  And then they want to count jobsite caucuses 5 times more than regular sites?  Talk about a rigged election.

One person, one vote, by secret ballot.  Let&#039;s get back to Democracy.</description>

		<description>&quot;LAS VEGAS, 30 (UPI) -- The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has launched an investigation of a Las Vegas federal judge, the Los Angeles Times said.

The Times reported Saturday that U.S. District Judge James Mahan was specifically being scrutinized over allegations he failed to disclose personal ties to parties in cases involving monetary awards.

Mahan, who joined the federal bench in 2002, had been the subject of an investigation by the newspaper last summer. 

Although investigations of federal judges by nature are confidential, the Times said two people &quot;independently familiar with the matter said that a law firm hired by the 9th Circuit has scheduled interviews with key figures in the Mahan case.&quot; 

Mahan, who has denied any wrongdoing, was detailed in the Times&#039; articles as having awarded fees in a dozen state and federal cases to a former client and business associate; he also reportedly awarded additional fees to his former law partner who still had ties to him and his family.&quot;

Hmmmm...
Crooked Judge -crooked candidate. 

Do you suppose Obama offered him a Supreme Court Nomination in return for this ruling?</description>

		<description>This will be a caucus stoled by the unions. 

As for this
&quot;The Obama campaign applauded the court&#039;s decision.&quot;

Yeah, Obama loves dirty politics. What do you suppose he primonsed the Union in order to get their endorsement. 

Obama is a disgusting, corrupt human being and if elected to office will be just as hated as G.W Bush is today.</description>

Sometime when you&#039;re not doing right God&#039;s eyes don&#039;t expect him to answers.  Dirty Politic can take you so far.</description>

		<description>I find it funny that the &quot;wheel tilters&quot; are accusing the state teachers union of wanting to tilt the wheel. Nothing seems to be fair in any of these primaries. 
AND...............................................................................................................................................
To you Republican fans thinking  you should vote for these candidates running on the  Regonomics coat tail? You need to remember just what Reganomics brought us in the 80&#039;s ..

inflation...
8-10% mortgage rates
high unemployment
a bear market for 10 years
a big chunk of our tax dollars going to military.....for what????
The worst debt in the history of the US ..(until Bush Jr)

LOOK IT UP!!!! and tell me I am wrong......

I will never understand why anyone would even think of having another republican in office again.....unless you are rich and think you need to be richer.</description>

AND...............................................................................................................................................<br />
To you Republican fans thinking  you should vote for these candidates running on the  Regonomics coat tail? You need to remember just what Reganomics brought us in the 80's ..</p>
<p>inflation...<br />
8-10% mortgage rates<br />
high unemployment<br />
a bear market for 10 years<br />
a big chunk of our tax dollars going to military.....for what????<br />
The worst debt in the history of the US ..(until Bush Jr)</p>
<p>LOOK IT UP!!!! and tell me I am wrong......</p>
<p>I will never understand why anyone would even think of having another republican in office again.....unless you are rich and think you need to be richer.</p>

		<description>so these are the voices that support a &quot;uniter&quot; -- wow -- not so convincing any more. obama lost my vote on this one -- no more holier than though crap -- he&#039;s the same as the rest and is going to have to take all the crap the rest have gotten. 

being african american is not going to make everything he does ok down the road. i was with him in the beginning -- especially as a biracial man -- but this is embarassing.</description>

		<description>Can other people caucus at their place of work? What about people who work in hospitals? What about other people who work nights? Just wondering?  Also it can be very intimidating for people to openly vote in their working place, while their supervisors are watching them, especially if they want to vote the opposite of their bosses. Lets face it the rank and file of the culinary union would probably vote Clinton, but maybe not if their bosses are watching them. They may be afraid of repercussions..  GO HILLARY!!!!</description>

		<description>Bill is turning into a real &quot;bad boy&quot; and is probably hurting Hillary more than helping.  That&#039;s OK because he&#039;s showing the real colors of the Clintons.  First Hillary is &quot;crying&quot; on the TV and now Bill wants to take a TV reporter out!  Both are turning into real cry babies.  If it&#039;s not their way it&#039;s the wrong way.  I can see Hillary now sitting at the desk in the Oval Office &quot;crying&quot; because the republicans won&#039;t play fair and Bill busting into the Senate warning them to stop giving his wife a hard time.  

If you&#039;re going to play with the big guys - SUCK IT UP HILLARY!!!  You can&#039;t take jabs at Obama when your up and whine and cry foul when your down!

OBAMA in &#039;08!</description>

		<description>take a look at this example of plain dishonesty on the clinton camp. Read the quote.
&quot;While we were not involved in this lawsuit, and have always said that we would play by the rules that we&#039;re given, it has always been our hope that every Nevadan should have equal access and opportunity to participate in the caucus,&quot; said a statement from Clinton spokesman Jay Carson. 

This hope that evey Nevadan should have equal access ONLY BECOMES IMPORTANT DAYS BEFORE THE VOTEYOU HAVE 10 MONTHS TO PUT FORTH YOUR OPIONION OF &quot;FAIRNESS&quot;. AND OF COURSE IF THE CULINARY UNION DOES NOT BACK YOUR CANDIDATE.

think about it. if clinton really cared about everyone having a chance to vote, why support the challenge at this point in time. The answer is very clear. They are lying to the American people and insulting our intelligence with their lies.

AMERICA, SHOW THE CLINTONS WE ARE NOT AS DUMB AS THEY THINK.</description>

		<description>The judge appears oblivious to the UNFAIRNESS of the casino caucuses to the candidate not favored by some of the culinary workers who will vote thereat. The judge invoked the  Freedom of Association to do whatever it wanted as long as is not unlawful.  In this instance, there is no law against unfairness. So,  the judge upheld the freedom to be UNFAIR?   Obama fell prey to this UNFAIRNESS when he questioned the lawsuit not to allow the unfair casino caucuses. Thumping his breast like Tarzan over the judge&#039;s favoring him, and confident the casino caucuses for the culinary workers will benefit him,  he thus demonstrated his defiance, if not ignorance, of the tradition of FAIR PLAY in America.  He preaches HOPE and CHANGE but, in stark contrast, he cannot follow elementary FAIR PLAY.  Such callousness will certainly excite another wave of sympathy for HILLARY not only in Nevada but also in other states closely observing Nevada.  It is a tribute to the right-thinking Nevadans that they will see through the unfair play and Barack&#039;s supporting UNFAIRNESS, and will vote for HILLARY overwhelmingly.  Hillary will win in Nevada! Her victory will be the fitting chastisement of taking liberties with freedom manifested by the unfair play with the casino caucuses.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t there also White and Black workers in this union also.......so lets not forget them. Latino only takes up 12% of the votes in Neveda so where the other 88% coming from.  Yes Latino votes matter but you honestly think the Clinton really care about them? Look how they tried to block them from voting this coming Saturday.  

They are power hungry that all they care about but they also have to go into other RED states where hates their guts just because they are the Clintons and the past that haunts them.    ABC ..... &quot;Anything But the Clintons&quot;</description>

		<description>Hillary whined about the Iowa caucuses too, after she lost.  She came out and discredited caucuses in general and basically slapped the Iowa voters in the face with her comments, although I&#039;m sure she wouldn&#039;t have said a word if she&#039;d won.  Seems she&#039;s very afraid of the elections where people have to vote out in the open.  Hmm...</description>

		<description>Ginny if Mrs. Obama speeches where covered then the Clinton supporters would be saying she&#039;s getting to much coverage.  The decision was made in March 2007 but it wasn&#039;t a problem until Obama got the backing of the Culinary Workers.  I&#039;m sure this will never be clear to people who only see it from one side.</description>

		<description>I am assigned a polling place, I can not go to another because it is closer to my work.  This is weired, I honestly don&#039;t understand it.  I thought the teachers union filed this thing?  Are the Clintons named on the filing?  I just go by the facts, judge ruled, deal is done, end of discussion.  We must now wait and see the outcome.</description>

		<description>........I would almost bet that the Hispanic culture is not THAT liberal.  From what I have studied multiculturally in university classes and from what I feel I understand about Hispanics (and I have been close to Hispanic co-workers), they tend to be devoutely religious, and lean toward &quot;conservative&quot; on some issues:  values, family, and also are a close-knit community.   Why would people think that Obama could be a &quot;champion&quot; of hispanics, and not that Hillary could be a &quot;champion&quot; of Hispanics?  Either could do this, neither better than the other.

&quot;CHANGE&quot; IS A FUNNY THING.......

Obama is considerably more liberal than Hillary, and older American voter-folks will surely counter-balance these youngster-more liberal-voters, who seem to want the farthest liberal person in office that they can find.  The political pendulum may swing WAY liberal and so far left initially because people are SO SICK of bush and want the greatest change they can get their hands on------but older, more conservative-Democrat-American voter-folks will not be so impulsive, and with maturity will think things through and decide that SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE would be foolish-----we need change in smaller increments, to be able to evaluate if it IS the right direction for change.</description>

The political pendulum may swing WAY liberal and so far left initially because people are SO SICK of bush and want the greatest change they can get their hands on--but older, more conservative-Democrat-American voter-folks will not be so impulsive, and with maturity will think things through and decide that SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE would be foolish-&#8211;we need change in smaller increments, to be able to evaluate if it IS the right direction for change.</p>

		<description>Ginny, CA,

The judge made the fair and right judgement since this was agreed upon in March 2007 and only tried to be changed since Obama received the endorsement.</description>

		<description>&quot;My issue is with voter intimidation. Sounds like because this isn&#039;t a private vote, then the casino workers who may not be want to vote for Obama will feel compelled to do so because of potential the backlash from their union. Remember, these are lower paying job and intimidation can factor into the equation.&quot;

Well when they break for edwards because Senators clinton and Obama both supported building a wall between us and mexic you act surprised ok.

Obama admires reagan for saying tear down this wall but apparently wants to build another.</description>

		<description>Go Obama! what America is saying to Clinton supporters, either you are arrogant or ignorant or both (like the Judge told OJ about his slickery). No one wants this scandalist pair to run our country. What country would take either of them as a threat, they are looked down on by every overseas government. No to a impeached former President and his wife, My God!, have some respect for your country!</description>

		<description>The judge made a ruling that is unfair to many Nevada caucus goers.  Why are so many people tip-toeing around Obama?  Is every criticism of him, his campaign, his lack of substance, experience and so forth, going to be viewed as a racial attack?  If he doesn&#039;t want race to be an issue, he&#039;d better get a muzzle on his wife who has been shamefully using race as an issue in the southern states.  Notice how her stump speeches are never covered, never shown on the news, while every word that Bill Clinton speaks is, not only covered, but intentionally misrepresented by the media.</description>

		<description>I do not understand, really-----why didn&#039;t these &quot;Latino&quot; voters who are in the &quot;Culinary Union&quot; in Las Vegas vote for Latino Bill Richardson when HE was running?  He would have represented Union, Latino, Southwestern Democratic voters------yet nobody there wanted him badly enough.

I am a member of a Union here in my state, and I am embarrassed that another Union-----no matter what Union----would act the way these Union members are about the whole issue.</description>

		<description>I am happy the original agreement was upheld. It is the right thing to do. Shame on the Clintons for trying to silence these voices via the teachers union. They are mostly low to middle income people who the Clintons profess they want to help. So Hill &amp; Bill let them speak, let them be heard, let them find their voices. Please do not ever again take your own party to court. We can not defeat the Republicans if you fracture OUR party. In the end you might not be the next president Hillary but it is all about our party isn&#039;t it? No sour grapes and no more trickery. Play fair  and you might still have a chance. In the end it is all about what the people want and not your ego Hillary.</description>

		<description>Cheers to the district judge for this ruling. Jeers to the Clinton camp who shot themselves in the foot with this lawsuit and crying. If any casino workers were ambivalent about who to vote before, they are probably not set against Hillary.  The candidate that truly understands minorities is Barack Obama.</description>

		<description>If I understand correctly, a person caucusing could go from one to another of these caucusing places, and could perhaps vote 5 times.  Each caucus place would think this was the only place he/she was voting, but there is no way to know if someone voted more than once, is there?  since you just go stand in the corner of the room that is designated for the person you are voting for.
And I agree, if you want to keep your job--since everyone knows who you are for, because you have to stand in their group--the workers will be afraid to vote any way except the way their bosses expect them to vote--which is for Obama.  I agree, this is crooked--I don&#039;t think the judge understood the situation, or else was for Obama.  We will just have to hope that the ones for other than Obama will have the nerve to vote for who they want to.
I am for Hillary, and I think the 5 casino caucusing places are crooked and unfair.  I would think so even if   the union was backing Hillary.  Unfair is unfair!</description>
