Rather than the "Sun's" editors endorsement of Clinton. Why the DNC chose this state for an early primary is beyond comprehension.
You can bet that if Clinton had received this backing that suit would have never been filed. Her supporters in the teachers union decided to jump on it with help, to be sure, from the campaign albeit quietly.
The court would be correct in throwing out the suit because of timing. The locations were announced some time ago and if anyone was unhappy then they had plenty of time to take action. The state and national parties agreed on this ages ago. Now the game doesn't go their way and the Clintonistas throw it at a wall. Shame, but very much in character.
Every Republican in the country is laughing their backsides off this morning. No one, Democrats, Indepdents or Republicans, can belive the events of the past 10 days.
Thanks go to the Democratic establishement (read Clinton's "hoof in mouth" bozos) for injecting race into this campaign. Yes, "Seed of Change", Clinton may have a fabric named after her in Bangaldesh. This "supporter" of the American worker has shipped our jobs off shore and now tries to be a "friend" of the union voter.
Hillary and Bill Clinton would be the single reason, if she is nominated, that the GOP will take the general election. Old habits die hard and, in this case, never die. Give us Edwards or Obama and we've got a chance next November. Otherwise, the Democratic nomination won't be, thanks to "Cactus Jack" Garner, worth a "pitcher of warm spit".
The whole world will be watching Nevada this Saturday. Hopefully, it will showcase a state that is worthy of hosting another early primary. The Clinton supporters inspired lawsuit to close precincts in the hotels and casinos is but the latest example of voter supression. Shame! Go NH "Vote First or Die!"
For a lot of us it has become very obvious that these so-called “gaffes” are part of a campaign. Andrew Young, Andrew Cuomo, Billy Shaheen, Robert Johnson and, above all, Bill Clinton, keep coming up with these outbound missles and then the “apologies”, “plank walking” and “denials” start. Repeat the big “lie” often enough and hopefully someone will start to believe it, is the motto, I guess.
Either this is one stupid campaign with a rudderless ship or they’re running a clumsy attempt to inject not only race but a terminal “whine” into this race. John Edwards said it best over the weekend.
Now we’ve got Mark Penn’s firm, Burson-Marsteller, having links all over the place to firms like Blackwater, the tobacco industry and a firm that supplies uniforms to hotels in Las Vegas that won’t let the union organize. The Culinary Union endorse Obama and several Clinton operatives throgh the local NEA affiliate sue to prevent precints in the hotels and casinos that we’re agreed upon months ago by the state Democratic Party and the DNC. See link below to Mark Penn’s firm, Burson Marsteller and Mark Penn himself from sourcewatch.org

Fairness dictates that I state that the Clinton’s have a right to have anyone on staff that they choose, but they do bear the consequencs of their saffers and friends actions. If I were a Las Vegas union member right now, I’d be looking long and hard at Barack Obama and John Edwards as the prima facie evidence is that Senator Clinton is no friend of labor and possibly the African-American voter as well. Stay tuned
Once again, Clinton throws a monkeywrench into the democratic process. You can place a sure bet that had the Culinary Union endorsed her, this would have never seen the light of day.
The local NEA, since they're doing such a great job at educating kids, now uses their members funds to bring a lawsuit to benefit a few leaders annointed candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Get back to classroom and shut up!
It is my hope that the union leadership will tell their members in English, Spanish or whatever that the "great Senator from the east" doesn't give a darn about them and their votes, but just wants the White House by any means possible. How about the fact that chief "Pollster and Trickster", Mark Penn's firm represents a large property owner in Vegas who has refused to have the Culinary Union represent their employees and even grant access to them?
Wake up Nevada, you have nothing to lose but your voice. This one gets hijacked and you'll never host an early primary again.
Baloney! A Clinton nomination will give us four more years of the GOP. Put this piece at the bottom of the birdcage where it belongs.
Typical Clinton tactics backed by the teachers' union. Perhaps if this union's leaders spent more time caring for, nurturing and educating our kids and less time "shilling" for Clinton, education results would improve.
2008 demands the greatest possible participation to achieve a clear mandate of just where the country wants to go from here. Voter repression goes against this. I respectfully urge caucus goers to keep that in mind.

Maybe Hillary can get the big "fibber" Bill to continue to spread this misinformation. After all, ten years ago he didn't have sex with that woman and so many lemmings believed him.
