Hundreds of Strip workers have poured into a conference room here, quickly separating into Obama and Clinton camps. A rough estimate: two-thirds were Obama people.

The sides engaged in spirited back-and-forth chanting, accompanied by sign waving:

“Hil-ler-REE!”

“Oh-ba-MAH!”

At one point, the shouting seemed to grow a bit more angry in tone, and the chairman of the caucus — sport coat, no tie — walked up to the podium and implored everyone to show civility. “This is a caucus,” he said. “It’s about community, and we don’t want to do anything to make people feel uncomfortable.”
