Just Breaking CNN: Fed Court said Nevada Casino Caucus sites OK n/t

Bill Clinton's gonna be P.O.Deluxe !

[mikelgb]

1. Stretch. yawn.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. stopping voter suppression attempts doesn't get you up?

[Dems Will Win]

47. This might have just given the nomination to Obama, as he could win NV now

then romp in SC right after that. Plus all Hillary managed to do was piss off the Hispanic vote and leaders like Durazo in LA big-time.

This is HUGE for Obama. He is ON A ROLL.

[ellacott]

2. Good news n/t

[bluestateguy]

3. This was a junk lawsuit

And it should have been dismissed as frivilous.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. you are probably right. Since the party members had already

all agreed to the plan. Your only basis is that you have to assume what people will vote - which you can not - regardless of endorsements.

[DJ13]

4. Great!

Shame for Hillary.

Also great!

[Richard Steele]

6. Good. Less disenfranchisement of workers that day. nm

[TwilightGardener]

7. Excellent. Nice try, Clintons. Hope it backfires on you on Saturday.

[ronnykmarshall]

11. ....

:eyes:

[aquart]

21. Since a union worker said the union sticks together, I'm sure that's true.

[TwilightGardener]

28. Quite a big risk to take, to try to suddenly hinder a large group of people

from caucusing long after the caucus rules had been approved of by all parties. Not sure Obama would have done it--he didn't have highly-placed allies in the state to mount a challenge, had he lost the endorsement. And Edwards didn't complain either--he may benefit also from not trying to play dirty pool.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. guess you can hope they don't and I can hope they do. nt

[gaiilonfong]

8. Good, BIGDOG is stank!

The people have won...NO VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT....that is a ReTHUGlican policy, not a Democratic Party policy.

Madame Hillary repug-lite loses!

[stillcool]

10. I am shocked.

Justice in America?

[aquart]

23. This was always the likeliest outcome.

Big fuss over a perfectly legal, reasonable challenge.

[Pirate Smile]

12. I would have been shocked if they would have ruled any other way.

Bad PR move creating a backlash PLUS it didn't even stop the casino caucus sites.

That was just a really dumb move.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Hi PS ! Where you been? Haven't seen you in the mix in a very

long time !!

[Pirate Smile]

37. I think things are finally getting back to normal after Christmas, my

son's birthday, sick kids, work deadlines - stuff like that.

:hi:

[skipos]

13. This is bad for Clinton, correct?

I have been having trouble rooting through all the Reagan threads to find out about anything else lately.

[aquart]

24. Yes. Go rejoice.

[skipos]

38. I won't rejoice until the worst candidate (Hillary) is kept from the nomination

Given our past pattern of picking weak nominees, I am not sure that is going to happen.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. amen. ABC Club

Anybody but Clinton = half America hates her and half of us hate her. That leaves 25% who like her. Great choice for a nominee, huh!

[NorthernSpy]

45. Amen! Anyone but Hillary.

:thumbsup:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Yes it is. Clinton backers (teacher's union) tried to stop it - but

only once the culinary union endorsed Obama. (No dissent since March, I believe when the Dem party approved it).

It was pretty weak - I saw the teacher'sunion official on tv the other day - He was asked, "aren't teachers off on Sat? Why are you worried about them not being able to vote?" He admitted that was true and then brought up that it was the janitors that might be having to clean the schools on Sat 11-2.

[skipos]

34. Thanks. nt

[MrCoffee]

14. boy howdy did i misread that OP subject line

i'm thinking to myself, there's no way a fed court said the NV casino caucus sucks.

[grantcart]

15. Bill Clinton is not going to be pissed

In about 5 minutes the Clinton campaign will start sending surrogates claiming how proud they are of "their great victory in supporting the union movement which is what Hillary has been doing for 35 years as she prepares herself to be prepared on day one while she wasn't doing something bad during her teenage years"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. You are probably so right. But, man, I just saw Bill on CNN

and he was on fire about the whole thing. And not his usual
demeanor. He was just downright mad and irreverent. He's
way beyond the sympathetic spouse- he wants to be president
again - imho.

[Debi]

25. "in the neighborhood"

:eyes:

[sueh]

29. LOL

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. If you;'re in vegas - just don't try to check out or order room

service between 11-1pm ;>)

I wonder if it works the same as Iowa - with viability and the revote.
Or if the workers can just go vote quickly and back to work??

[Blarch]

17. Great news

[aquart]

18. Oh, look. A legal court made a legal decision.

And the process continues.

Culinary Union workers can now caucus conveniently. Non-union culinary workers and other union shift workers? Not so much.

And the caucusing for Culinary Union workers ONLY now takes place within the context and pressure of the workplace which will certainly encourage independence of thought and decision.

But it's a great victory for democracy.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. different animal. this union all agreed before hand that they would

support the union's endorsed candidate.

[AX10]

41. No question that there will be pressure to caucus for...

Obama at the workplace.

[cali]

43. wrong. anyone working within a 2 1/2 mile radius of the Strip

can use those caucus sites- but you knew that, right?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Cali - do you know how they work?

is it like Iowa with 15% viability and second chance voting?

[Debi]

19. Who is Bill Clinton gonna yell at now?

The Judge who 'didn't understand' what they were ruling on?

[aquart]

26. So Bill is being demonized now, too?

Are you only able to vote for saints against demons?

[Debi]

31. I'm not the one who yelled at a reporter for asking a question

If Bill Clinton can't handle 'hard' questions from the media without yelling at them and getting all red in the face then he should not be out in front of the cameras. :eyes:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. you are right. bet it's very hard to control him, don't you think? bet

they have nightly fights about shit he brings up..

[Debi]

39. In Iowa he spoke about how Hillary (while still in law school)

laid the plans that eventually were passed through Congress and are now what is called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Plan. My child (being both a former public school attendee and a disabled individualt...oh and a Joe Biden supporter) found this fascinating - since Senator Biden had the privilege of co-sponsoring the bill in the Senate and of course voting on it. I don't think he was aware that Hillary Clinton was responsible for that law :eyes: Bill just make 'em up as he goes...

[blondeatlast]

20. Excellent. nt

[realFedUp]

35. The decision was better than ok for Barack

This greatly benefits him.

[Vinca]

40. Hillary supporters have to ask themselves if the Culinary Workers

had supported their candidate, would the "teachers" have gone to court. The answer, of course, would be no. They had nearly a year to contest this, but since Hillary was made out to be the presumptive candidate, they didn't. The cookie has crumbled.

[BarackBucks]

46. Good!
