A lawsuit may be filed challenging the legitimacy of the nine at-large caucus precincts local casinos have established for their workers, columnist Jon Ralston reports in his Web newsletter, RalstonFlash.
It's unclear who is considering filing the suit.
Consideration of a lawsuit comes just two days after the presumably powerful Culinary Union endorsed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama over his chief rival, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Ralston predicts the union would blame Team Clinton for a suit, because it could undercut its influence: "You can be sure Clinton, who has criticized the caucus process for disenfranchising voters, would not want to be seen as being behind a lawsuit that might be seen as doing just that."
The lawsuit could be founded on the possibility that the casino precincts would get a disproportionate number of delegates, Ralston reports.
Triangulating, Divide and Conquer will not work this time in our history.
The only election where the Clintons managed to eke a 2-point victory and 0 delegate advantage is highly questionable. In a caucus (Iowa) that could not be rigged, they tried to disenfranchize students and failed. In another caucus (Nevada) that cannot be rigged, they're trying to disenfranchize casino workers by changing the rule of the game in the middle of the game and by pitting blacks against hispanics. Can we beat them? Yes, we can! Si, se puede!

What a bunch of babies
No one is allowed to say boo to Obama(is that racist) will you be publishing a list of correct speech.
Maybe there should have been more challenges in Iowa to the voters. I heard Obama bussed in people from Illinois. Maybe he cheated in Iowa and that's how he won
No one questioned it at the time but maybe they should have
What a pile of crap.
Obama plays dirty politics and there is nothing but silence.
Wow, a caucus in a work district, where a Union has endorsed one candidate seems to me to be very suspect. Won't the individual employees feel coerced to vote as directed by the union? If the caucusing were in one's home district, at least there may be less possibility of undue influence. Sounds illegal to me.
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Not much - just the leader of the free world for the next four years --
------------------------
It is common knowledge that the Republicans want to run against Senator Clinton - as they feel they can beat her the easiest (easier than either Obama or Edwards); Hillary is the dream candidate for the republican machine --
They are "fired up and ready to go" should Hillary Clinton be the democratic nominee --
See link below for the following information (also was on TV this am)
"New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is Republicans' choice for a Democratic candidate.
Said GOP pollster Whit Ayres: "When it comes to Republicans, Hillary Clinton is a unifier, not a divider."
