Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid came back from Washington, D.C., to caucus this morning.
Reid and his wife, Landra, arrived at the caucus site at the Searchlight Community Center on Michael Wendell Drive at 11:06 a.m. today. They were met by 65 other Democrats who were ready to caucus.
Reid addressed the caucus goers before they started. "This is an important day in the history of our country, in the history of our state," he said. "I worked hard to get the caucus in Nevada knowing there would be one in Searchlight."
Reid then immediately retreated to the uncommited corner where he plans to stay.
Twenty-four Republicans came to the same site earlier this morning, and that caucus went for Mitt Romney.
I'm not trying to sway anyone's vote, because we are all going to vote the way according to our own reason. All these heated exchanges and bare naked attempts to appeal to each other's emotions for the benefit of our chosen candidate are not likely to change our minds. But with that said, and no matter if Hillary winds up destroying Barack, or if people wind up supporting him in wild numbers , Barack Obama has honestly led a remarkable political life, and has largely worked toward helping the poor, fighting corporate power, and working to improve health care.
Now, you may be skeptical of that, given all the press coverage and rumors that have been floating around, but it really is true. Read Time Magazines article - http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Time's article is clear and concise, but if you'd rather read just a listing of facts on Obama, read the Wikipedia Encyclopedia entry on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam...
Barack has lived a fairly noble life, as far as politicians go. So I just don't think its fair the way the media, and the Clinton's are trying destroying his image. he's lead a good life, and honestly believes in the idea that our government would better if we'd minimize bipartisanship polarization. He's one of our better politicians, and even if he doesn't win, he's still going to keep fighting for the common good.
Keep doing what you do Barack; Keep fighting for the common good no matter what!
