To Tom Blase :
Don't let your biases get shaken by facts. Didn't you read most of the postings that described the problems, many of which were the fault of the State Democratic party . The time confusion is only one example. Don't you read information before you spout off and show your lack of knowledge.

Shame on you!!! And shame on the Obama campaign who had to know the rules problems and had apparently prepared in advance to raise complaints as was stated by Lisa .

I hope we can get past this animosity but I fear that some people don't want to be dissuaded by the truth. I never say negative things about the other candidates. I think Obama will make a good president in 8 years when he gets some experience and learns how to accomplish goals, run a government without having to depend on advisors to tell him how and what to do. I definitely would never compare him to Bush but the media gave Bush a pass on experience too and said he'd get advise from others like Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. Regardless of the better calibre of advisors Obama would get, the buck stops at the Oval office and the President can't learn on the job with all the problems that will be faced immediately.
We've learned in the past 7 disastrous years that we better make sure who we are electing. The person named on the ballot or his/her advisors.

I also think Edwards is a person who cares and he does have more experience than Obama. But neither is as ready as Hillary Clinton to take on the problems immediately facing our country.
She's extremely intelligent, caring about people, especially children, and has the experience needed.

P.S. Message to Jon Ralston. You should have checked out the manual yourself before spreading this misinformation.
Message to desertlover: It is people like you who have been tainted by the right wingers who during the Clinton years of peace, prosperity and a budget surplus, relentlessly went after the Clintons from the day they took office. Too bad their poison effected some Democrats as well.
Apparently you've also bought the propaganda put out by the Rush Limbaughs, Sean Hannitys and their ilk impugning the Clintons integrity. Well actions speak louder than words and I and millions of other loved the nineties and had looked forward to the 21st century and the things that could have been accomplished with the surplus that Bill Clinton left.
Boy, you really buy into the media story lines. Dynasty?? You mean like our 2nd President and our 4th President, the Adams father and son.

Because Bush 43 has been such a disaster should not disqualify spouses or offspring of past Presidents who are highly qualified and would make great Presidents from aspiring to lead this country.

I was a Precinct Captain for Hillary Clinton and we were given the training with the instruction manual. The training, although for Hillary volunteers, could have been attended by the other candidates supporters, and I'm sure it was. We were told that the State Democratic rules were unclear, with some people being told the caucus doors would close 11:30 and others told 12:00. To be certain that everyone who wanted to caucus could, we were told to tell them to get there no later than 11:30.
Precinct Captains did not have the authority to close the doors. Only the temporary Chairs, who were selected by the Nevada Democratic party, had final authority over everything that went on. The Obama campaign people know this and to state otherwise is to deliberately mislead the media into reporting misinformation.
The temporary Chair in my caucus was also an Obama Precinct Captain and was not impartial, wearing Obama pins and had Obama signs. She had told a caucus goer who wanted to change her registration from Republican to Democrat in order to vote for Hillary, that she couldn't vote, that only Democrats could. Fortunately this woman approached a Clinton worker who straightened out the matter with the Chair. I don't know how many others were dissuaded however.
The Caucus system is ridiculous. It is not representative because it doesn't allow all people who wish to, to vote. People who work, except for strip hotel workers, people who observe Saturday sabbath, etc. We are too big a State for a caucus. I won't go into all the other problems created by the State party,
