Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who predicted a caucus turnout of 100,000 to much scoffing, is upbeat and multi-tasking as he interrupts himself to look at South Carolina results coming in. From his home in Searchlight:
"Great turnout in Nevada. (Sun columnist) Jon Ralston - some people made fun of me," he said about his early projection for high turnout. The latest tally: more than 114,000 and still counting. "I'm very satisfied."
A load off his shoulders? "You got that right."
Hey -- Harry Reid !
I have spent a year of my life and oodles of my time trying to get people to get involved and pay attention to us.
You guys screwed up.
My Caucus was the worst organized debacle I have ever been involved in.
I first have to give up my candidate, John Edwards, because he did not stay viable. OK. My guy lost. My party rules said if you do not get enough votes you move to another candidate or you choose uncommited or you leave.
I joined Hillary Clinton's caucus.
Then I come home and see that Barack Obama, despite getting a substantially fewer amount of votes, has more delegates than my new choice, Hillary Clinton.
I lost three times today, and you wasted my time.
You guys have now joined the US Supreme Court in the annals of US Political History in stealing the election from the person who won it. Hillary Clinton won, but Barack Obama becomes our Presidential nominee if we are the last criteria used to choose the Democratic nominee.
Shame, shame, shame on all of you.
God Bless all of you.
