County and State Democratic parties were at odds over the at-large precincts, but now they’re trying to make nice – or at least present a united front. The statement was jointly issued by State Democratic Party Chair Jill Derby and Clark County Democratic Party Chair John Hunt.
Basically, it says that though we might have disagreed about at-large precincts, we’re moving on.
During the hearing this morning in federal court, Hunt – who wasn’t a plaintiff in the lawsuit – was leaning over the rail, speaking and offering notes to the attorneys for the plaintiffs seeking to block the Strip sites.
Meanwhile, D. Taylor tried to make nice with the teacher’s union at Culinary Union Local 226 headquarters this afternoon. He said the union supports teachers, and support increasing funding for education. Of course, when I asked him about any lasting fissures to the Democratic party here, he repeated the charge that he never thought he’d see the day that Democrats (he wouldn’t specify who, besides saying “Clinton supporters”) would try to disenfranchise thousands of voters.
Below is the full statement from Hunt and Derby.
“Democrats around Nevada agree: By participating in the January 19th precinct caucuses, we have an exciting opportunity to change the leadership in the White House and point our country and our world in a better direction. Some Democrats might have disagreed on the allocation of delegates in this caucus, but this issue is settled and we are unified in our commitment that Nevadans turn out and voice our opinions Saturday to help select our next president.”
Since Mr. Taylor didn't mention who he was referring to, by democrats trying to disenfranchise people, perhaps it was his own union reps, who were caught telling members they couldn't caucus unless they voted for Obama.

you know what you wrote here is incorrect - there is an article in this paper that clearly states this did not happen
you win some - you lose some
move on
Before you believe that the Clintons diddn't have anything to do with the lawsuit, take a listen at Bill Clinton saying he did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewisnky.

Or Bill Clinton saying he opposed the war in Iraq in the beginning.

These people think about no one but themselves - except when they're seeking people's votes. And they will say anything to get elected. You're in a pipe dream if yoiu think Hillary can win the presidency. But let's use facts - what data from the Iowa and NH results give any clue that Hillary is electable?
Hillary leading Bam Bam Hussein Obama +9% in NV.

Hillary has done nothing but play the game of dirty politics. She lies about Barack's political experience, but he actually has more experience, and has spent his life in the service of others.
Read time magazines new article on Obama's Political Experience to learn about the real Barack Obama. --http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1704117,00.html
Don't let the news media fool you about who these candidates really are. Everything Hillary has done has been about dirty, scandalous, dishonest politics. What does that say about her character? Obama has remained above the fray, and has never attacked his candidates the way she has.
And if you think that Hillary has more experience, then you need to read Time Magazine's article on Obama's political experience.
It's what Hillary has been trying to distort(successfully) this whole election -- http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Girly_Girl:
So your pal, Shillary is ahead of Obama in a new NV poll by +9, down from 20% a month ago.
I guess that means she's the inevitable and she's going to win, right? Good for her. It will be a huge failure to her campaign if she doesn't win by 9%.
Hillary and her campaign are doing their best to use fear, the fear of the word "race" to manipulate our feelings. But she does that because if people knew who Barack really was, how he lived his life serving the poor and elderly from a very young age, how he has spent his life in the state Senate, and the US senate, fighting corruption at every stage, Americans would understand why we must support him for president.
Time Magazine has written the one true portrait of Obama's political experience, and have challenged all the lies put out by Hillary and her dishonest campaign machine.
Your eyes will be opened. I promise -- http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Yes, Hillary is beating Hussein Obama as of now.
We'll see what happens Saturday.
Will voters be intimidated like planned. Will Hussein Obama throw out the race card again?
Hillary/Edwards/or Republican 08
P.S. keep signing in and out in and out.
Right on Si_Se_Puede!
Polling regular elections are hard enough; but attempting to get accuate (or even close) numbers for a caucus is virtually impossible.
GG doesn't know the impact of the young voters who aren't sitting around on their duffs responding by telephone to a pollster.
S/he also doesn't understand how disgusting it was for the Clinton machine to attempt to stop the Culinary Union membership from caucusing simply because they weren't endorsed.
Sad. Very, very sad.

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.
Girly Girl,
Please stop SPAMMING the comment section here.
You and your filthy mouth should be shown the door.
The former North Carolina senator criticized Obama specifically for referring to Ronald Reagan as an agent of change in a newspaper interview. “I would never use Ronald Reagan as an example of change,” Edwards said. “You think about what Ronald Reagan did, to America, the American people, to the middle class, to working people. He was openly, openly intolerant of unions and the right to organize."
“I could promise you this,” Edwards said. “This president will never use Ronald Reagan as an example.”
-snip-
Later, Edwards called on a woman who complained that the “Eastern media” was acting like he wasn’t in the race. “Please, let the Eastern people know, the reason we’re in the West, the reason we’re doing this caucus, is to not count out people and have a coronation,” she said. “Don’t let them take your voice away cause you’re our voice.”
Edwards responded by saying the coverage is “remarkable.” “We’ve learned, whether it’s in a focus group … or any time I get in front of voters, people respond powerfully to the energy and the passion and the heartfelt ideas that I’m talking about,” he said. “I think you’re right. I think it’s time to call these people on it.”

Girly_Girl,
Bla bla bla.
Bill Clinton must have given you one of his cigars.
You keep puting your bla bla bla everywhere on this website
Hahaha,
And I quote from Girly Girl"Will voters be intimidated like planned. Will Hussein Obama throw out the race card again?"
Obama threw out the race card? That's what Hillary trained you to say, right Girly Girl? Just like she told you to use the name "Girly Girl" to appeal to female voters, right? Oh, how transparent.
Wasn't it Bob Johnson, who kept saying that Barack Obama turned this into a race thing? Wasn't it Bill clinton who kept saying that? Wasn't it Hillary who kept saying it? Wasn't is congressman Rangel who kept saying that? All I remember is all of Hillary's camp saying that Barack pulled the race card. But when did he ever once say anything about race? When did he accuse hillary of being a racist, please post the video when he accused her of being a racist? You won't cause it doesn't exist.
Again, Hillary's tactic is to make you all afraid to vote for Obama by using the word "race" But let me tell you something you sad girl. I am not my parents. I am not afraid of the word race. And I will not be manipulated by simple political tricks. I support Barack for one reason, because he has a heart of gold and loves all Americans and this country more than himself. And if you don't beleive it, then read about his years of selfless service for the poor, the young, the elderly. Read about how he fought corporate power and passed the most significant anti-lobbying bill in Chicago since Watergate!
Time Magazine - http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Americans support Barack because he's the real deal, and that is why since the beginning of this campaign, all Hillary can do is use the dirtiest politics to try to defeat him. Because as far as reality goes, barack's character, his morals, and his track record make Hillary just look like a dirty, power hungry politician.
If people are willing to just take a chance and read the truth about him, they will see what Obama is really made of.
He is honest and has a heart of gold: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Are you ready for surprise? you better get ready!!
We hispanics are going to give you a nice surprise next saturday.
Hispanics for Obama!!!!
We like him, we like his vision, his wisdom, his leadership!
Obama for president!!!
I agree with Obama's take on leadership qualities. A manager and a leader are two different people. A strong leader uses judgment to guide a group of competent managers. This man is not 'God' nor is he a 'Rock Star' .... he's a smart person with a strong ability to follow through on sound judgment.
He will be good for America.
