Hillary Clinton has carried six of the nine at-large casino sites on the Strip, despite the influence of the Culinary Union. Clinton has carried at sites in the Flamingo, the Rio, Paris Las Vegas, New York New York, the Bellagio, and Wynn Las Vegas. Only the Mirage and Caesars have gone for Obama so far.
The last site, the Mirage, is still voting. The first vote was 178 for Clinton and 153 for Obama and 3 for Edwards and three uncommitted. So on second round, that site, too, apparently will go for Clinton.
Odd. So Clinton tries to prevent people from voting at a convenient location, and when a court grants them that, they go and vote for her anyway. Once she gets in, she'll govern with the same impunity that the last two presidents have.
THEY USE SCARE TACTICS IN IOWA AGAINST STUDENTS...
THEY USE RACE CARD AGAINST BLACKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA...
THEY USE SMEAR TACTICS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ABOUT DRUGS AND ABORTION...
THEY USE LAWSUITS IN NEVADA AGAINST HISPANICS...
THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR POWER!!!!WELCOME TO THE CLINTONS WORLD!!!
HILLARY SUPPORTED GOLDWATER WHO VOTED NO TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.
CIVIL RIGHTS ARE AS IMPORTANT FOR BLACKS AS THEY ARE FOR HISPANICS AND ANY OTHER MINORITY.
HILLARY WINS! HILLARY WINS!
NOW THE OBAMA PEOPLE WILL HELP HER IN THE GE, RIGHT.
THANK YOU NEVADA!!!!!!!!!
BARACKS RACE BAITING AND SMEAR TACTICS DIDN'T WORK! NICE TRY JERK!
SEE YA CULINARY UNNNIOOOOOOOOON
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
Nevadans chose corrupt establishment over what's best for Americans. A real blow for hope for this country.
Is this Nevada "win" like Clinton's "win" in New Hampshire where both ended up with the same number of delegates? Impossible to tell with the reporting and the ALL CAPS SHOUTING of Hillary's fanatics.
Shouting "winner" is not the same as "winning".
Nice going sin city. Now we in the super Tuesday states have to work UNDO this travesty. We do not want another Clinton in the white house. I will donate, canvass, phone bank and do whatever to make sure Pattie Pantsuit is stopped.
I think today's crucial win for Clinton speaks to the power of organization, which is crucial in caucus states. We'll see what happens in South Carolina and Super Tuesday, which may prove decisive. On another note, I don't know why caucuses even exist. Would Obama have won Iowa in a primary? Would Clinton have won Nevada? We'll never know. Voting should be secret. In a primary, where people had all day to vote, there wouldn't have been a need for all the controversy about caucus sites. Turnout would have been much more representative, as well.
Pat - Pat - Pat a win is a win.
Way to go Culinary workers for thinking for yourselves and not letting the Union Heads decide for you.
OK, so maybe I don't understand politics, but here in a small northern Nevada town (25,000 people), we had one caucus place that had thousands of people jammed in it. What is this that special caucus sites were added to the Vegas strip so that the Culinary Union would have more places to vote. Is that fair? And look at the counts in those sites. A couple hundred people each. Why the need? Such a waste.
Obama supporters, learn at least to respect the winner. Do not follow you leader's lack of respect for the adversaries. Please!
Hillary will not win the general election without large African American support. Independents can always swing to the left and right. A lot of independents will be turned off by Hillary's tactics, and African Americans will not vote in the general election, because of all the racist undertones from Hillary supporters.
She may get the nomination, but she and her racist supporters are destroying her general election.
Just wait and see.
Well the Democrats are picking the only Democrat who can't win in November. Congrats Clintons on killing the Democratic party.

When I read the posts from the pro BO people, I do not get it. Have you never been in an election before? Guess what? We all look at the candidates and we see and hear different things; we think about those things in our own way and decide our vote. I would not like a BO win today but I would accept it and move on. You should listen to your leader; when he was asked to explain Hillary's win in NH he just said, she ran a good campaign. The culinary union item has brought up for many people the excess side of unions in politics---strong arming and manipulating. HRCs performance in the Nevada debate was very strong and she had a real experience record on Yucca Mtn. Absolutely HRC can not win if Black Americans turn their back on her in the ge. BO can not win a ge without women and core Dems. It takes a united party to win the general election and we will all lose if we get ourselves wallowing in our personal choice cult of personality and forget that we are a party, we have serious issues and it will take all of us in November. Knock off the name calling, "dissing" and all the other negative stuff. We will all win some and lose some but somehow we have to come back together again for the real fight! Let's all move on to South Carolina where probably BO is going to take the gold. I won't like it but I'll look forward to Super Tuesday and work for my side of the street; I will respect your side.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm still reeling from all that peace and prosperity that Bill Clinton gave us...
You people are a bunch of cry babies! Go Hillary!
I would never vote Obama b/c his people are so rude and ill educated on these posts...
That's the problem. Hillary thrives on division, drama and dishonesty. Even as a woman I could never support a woman with Hillary's lack of character and integrity. The Clintons are crafty old establishment and too connected to the Bushes to ever be trusted.
You go Kathryn..."such an original post" Give me a break
Congrats, Hillary
On running the ugliest most divisive campaign in history.
We can do better than Hillary and her racialy divisive supporters. Barack has a real message for the country, and we dont have to wait around for the Democrats to realize it.
CONVINCE OBAMA TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT IF HILLARY WINS THE NOMINATION. HE HAS THE MONEY, THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SUPPORT. HOW WOULD HILLARY STAND UP AGAINST REPUBLICANS IF BARRACK RUNS AS AN INDEPENDENT.
SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE CLINTONS THAT LIES, RACIAL DIVIDING, VOTER SUPPRESSION, AND UGLY SMEAR POLITICS WILL HAVE A CONSEQUENCE.
WRITE TO HIS ELECTION NOW AND ENCOURAGE THEM, SO HE KNOWS THAT HIS SUPPORTERS WOULD SUPPORT HIM AS AN INDEPENDENT.
IF YOU WOULD SUPPORT OBAMA'S RUN FOR PRESIDENT AS AN INDEPENDENT IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, WRITE TO THEM NOW AND TELL THEM!!!!! JUST SEND AN EMAIL http://www.barackobama.com/

most of the unfair and dirty comments seem to be coming from the Obama side it's probably why Hillary is doing better keep up the good work
I really find it odd. When ever HIS supporters post they blame Hillary Clinton for everything that has happened from and ice storm to a hurricane. Gee they sure are a confused bunch guess that's why they support him. Sour grapes is showing.
