twitterFLASHPOINT for Nov 18, 2007
Sunday, Nov. 18, 2007 | 1:16 a.m.
In the wake of Harry Reid's 100,000-voter prediction for the caucus, which has caused his name to be taken in vain by Democrats across Nevada, I began to wonder just how far off he might be. I have raised this issue before and I raise it again in context of Reid's remarks: The caucus will take place on the Saturday of Martin Luther King weekend. The caucus will take at least an hour to complete at each venue, so casino workers will need at least a couple of hours off. Will Strip employers during a huge three-day weekend let their workers go? And if not, how much does that diminish the influence of the Culinary union on the caucus? If Culinary workers can't go, maybe Reid's prediction will be right if you remove a 0.
