Details on the caucus voting lawsuit
By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com ReporterThe Las Vegas Sun has the latest details on the lawsuit over Culinary Worker caucus voting on the Strip.
“Nevada’s largest and most politically active union fired back Saturday at an attempt to shut down caucus sites on the Strip intended to allow its workers to caucus Jan. 19, when state Democrats make their choice for a presidential nominee. Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer D. Taylor demanded that Nevada’s Democratic elected officials and the presidential campaigns denounce a lawsuit that would eliminate the nine “at-large” caucus locations designed for shift workers, both union and nonunion. Shutting down the sites, which allow anyone who works within 2 1/2 miles of one to caucus there, would undermine the legitimacy of the caucus, he said.”

Throwing Rocks
Hill is Throwing Rocks a big freaking and scary Hornet's Nest
We know it's her behind the Lawsuit. If she wanted it stopped, she would stop it.
This may actually be the story that, when it breaks, may lose her Nevada, and end her bid
My friends in California are really scratching their heads over this one.
Desperado - why don't you come to your senses?
The Clinton machine usually demonstrates a lot more saavy than this. I know Hillary's appeal (per the returns from Iowa and New Hampshire) is to a lower-income, less-educated voter, but she's foolish if she thinks anyone else in the electorate is falling for this one. To make such a blunder shows how high the stakes are in Nevada as viewed by the Clinton campaign. If they didn't think this was a needed firewall to stop Obama's momentum, they would have never taken such a poorly calculated risk as this lawsuit.
