Newsweek's Richard Wolffe has a good piece on the caucus here.
His take: Confusion abounds.
He notes that we Nevadans hate gambling, er, gaming metaphors, and then makes the point that there's so much confusion, he's left with little choice but to use them. He's been compelled, as it were.

DIRT BEGINS TO FLY AT OBAMA
War opens with hints about backers
Obama was not brought up to follow any religion, although his African grandfather and Indonesian stepfather were Muslim. He became a Christian as a community organiser in Chicago and in the late 1980s joined the Trinity United Church of Christ, an African-American mega-church with an 8,000-strong congregation.
The same southern voter, who did not wish to be named, then threw another piece of Obama’s biography into the frame. “I looked at his church’s website. It said it was ‘unashamedly black’. They don’t want any whites there. I wouldn’t feel real comfortable if I tried to worship there.”
The unorthodox pastor of Trinity church is the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who is refusing all interviews. He married Barack and Michelle Obama and baptised their two daughters. He is already attracting attention on right-wing websites for describing the September 11 attacks as a “wake-up call” to America for ignoring the concerns of “people of colour”, and for claiming that Americans “believe in white supremacy and black inferiority . . . more than we believe in God”.
Wright said the Palestinians are the most oppressed people on earth and likens Israelis to Nazi occupiers.
Wright travelled to meet Muammar Gadaffi, the Libyan leader, in the 1980s with Louis Farrakhan, the black supremacist leader of the Nation of Islam, and subscribes to the “Black Values System”, which preaches self-reliance but claims “middle-classness” is ensnaring blacks.
“When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit Colonel Gadaffi with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell,” Wright once said.
The other potential threat to Obama comes from the indictment of one of his leading donors, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, a Syrian-born property developer in Chicago, who is accused of extortion.
Rezko has been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald - the prosecutor who brought down the White House official Lewis “Scooter” Libby and the press magnate Conrad Black - for seeking millions of dollars in kickbacks from companies bidding for state business in Illinois. He is due to appear in court on February 24.
On the day the Obamas bought a new home in Chicago for $1.6m in 2005, Rezko’s wife purchased an adjoining piece of land, giving the senator’s family more privacy and a larger expanse of green than they had paid for. Obama later paid $104,000 for a strip of the land, even though it was known that Rezko was under investigation.

BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S CHURCH: http://tucc.org/about.htm
----------------------------------------
The sad truth is...people who support Barack Obama are supporting:
A) a racist (see his church affiliation)
B) a closet Mulsim (father and step father both Muslim and mom is an athiest...how do you feel about those genes sitting in the Oval Office)
C) an anti-American (refusing to hold your hand over your heart for the National Anthem tells me everything I need to know about his true allegiance).
D) an inexperienced politician (a man who spent his time talking ideals to freshman students instead of battling real world politics in Washington).
Barack Hussein Obaman...Racist, Muslim, Anti-American, and Inexperienced. Americans need to "wake the hell up" and take a look at this man...this fraud.
Perhaps the prognosticators are right. Perhaps the next terrorist act against the United States will come from within...within the Oval Office.
Putting Barack Obama in the White House is placing the Muslim influence in the White House. I for one...will never accept that, especially when our soldiers are dying overseas at the hands of these lunatics. Have we forgotten 9/11 that quickly...?
Also...it's disgusting that the media refuses to expose this fraud because of their fear of being portrayed as being "racially biased". If Barack Obama were white...the media would have saturated the news with his real background.
WE ALL WANT CHANGE…! WE ALL WANT PRESIDENT BUSH OUT OF OFFICE.
This country needs a democrat as President. If Hillary Clinton can bring this country back to the Clinton years…low unemployment, balanced budged with a surplus, staying out of wars, establishing good relationships with the world, etc….then what the BLEEP are we doing looking at Barack Obama…?????
People must have forgotten…President Bush got elected on a platform of CHANGE despite having no real experience in Washington. Can we afford to make the same mistake a third straight election….?
AMERICAN RALLY CRY: Down with Barack Hussein Obama...the Muslim choice for "Muslim of the Year".
Girly G-
Please stop SPAMMING the board!!!!!!!!!!!

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in a church-affiliated magazine. “White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
In one of his sermons, Wright said, “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!…We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”
As for Israel, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”
Either Barrack Obama disavows his membership in Pastor Wright’s church with its bizarre ‘racist and anti-semitic views’ or he’s toast even among liberal Democratic voters, if they haven’t been taken in by his platitudinous mantra of ‘hope and change’.
Should Obama emerge as a Democratic front runner in these early primaries, this scurrilous relationship will likely do him in, even if he feigns to disavow Pastor Wright’s racist and anti-semitic views. Barack Obama still belongs to Pastor Wright’s Trinity United Church in Chicago.
Barack Obama’s Racist Church
If Sen. Obama rejects the Rev. Wright’s warped view of this country, why does he continue to attend his church?

Imagine if Mitt Romney’s church proclaimed on its website that it is “unashamedly white.”
The media would pounce, and Romney’s presidential candidacy would be over. Yet that is exactly what Barack Obama’s church says on its web site — except in reverse.
“We are a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian,” says the Trinity United Church of Christ’s website in Chicago. “We are an African people and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”

For those who do indeed plan on caucasing this saturday, I encourage you to research Dr. Ron Paul (www.ronpaul2008.com). He's a man with consistent views and his voting record proves it. They call him Dr. No, because he votes against anything that violates the Constitution. He is a defender of personal liberty and individual freedom, as were the founding fathers. In addition, the man has sound economic principles (he espouses the same principles taught by my economics professors) and has published several novels on foreign policy.
Obama is the loser in the Nevada caucuses because of his culinary union connection and their intimidation. At the end of the day it won't matter who or how the caucuses got set up. What counts is that they are rigged by the union and he supported this effort. He wins, it is not a credible win, he loses, its equally bad because he can't win even when the deck is stacked in his favor. Obama loses both ways.
If you truly support Obama, then spread this article to everyone on your email list, on every blog, and to everyone everywhere. Let his record and his years of selfless service to the American dream speak for itself. Remember, we are only separated from every other person in the world by 6 people. Send it to every American you know. Truth will always trump lies, so don't be afraid. Stand for truth in these dark times and let's take our country back from the elites, DEMS and REPUBS alike.

Obama's Varied Record
By AP/CHRISTOPHER WILLS
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
The only choice in this election is Ron Paul. He's the only candidate to speak out against the excesses of the Patriot Act; he opposes a national ID card; he opposes amnesty; he wants to end the ever-expanding war in the middle East; he's the only candidate who opposes the devaluing of the dollar by the Fed, and will work to help eliminate the income tax. The only candidate truly willing to do what it takes to start reducing the size of the federal leviathan. Oh, and he's the only Republican who opposed the Yucca nuclear waste dump. The perfect candidate, and Nevada has a chance to propel him to frontrunner status. Let's do it, vote for Ron Paul!
