First, for the record, I am not planning to vote (in the Feb. 5 primary) for either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
A federal judge has thrown out a last-minute lawsuit challenging the Nevada Democratic caucus plan to allow casino workers to vote near the casinos where they work. The plan was originally designed to ensure the largest possible turnout in Nevada's first-ever presidential caucus.
The suit was brought by the state teachers' union; they claimed that the formula discriminates against rural Democrats. But the real story is that a group "which has ties to [Hillary] Clinton" according to the New York Times and several other media sources, didn't file the suit until Local 226 of the Culinary Workers Union, which represents most casino workers, endorsed Barack Obama.
I suppose we'll never get to the bottom of the finger-pointing over the "race issue" (which includes yet another apology from a Clinton supporter today). This lawsuit, however, is a clear indication of the depths to which the Clinton campaign will sink. It begs the question of whether we want a Democratic Karl Rove in the White House next year.
I don't think so.
