The Twit Takes the Gambling State

Mitt Romney won the Nevada Republican caucus Saturday — hardly a surprise because virtually no other GOP candidates competed there.

Hey, you take ‘em any way you get ‘em. Besides, he just won Michigan (and Wyoming!), so let’s not be so stingy. Considering the results, the headlines should be Romney sweeps Nevada, or something like that.

In early returns, Romney had 46 percent of the vote. Arizona Sen. John McCain was second at 15 percent, followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the only other Republican to make a major effort here, on McCain's heels at 14 percent.

It probably means nothing that Nevada has the fourth highest Mormon population in the country. They were only 20% of the caucus voters.

Let's give the Twit his propers.

Democrats Do It, Too - Part Whatever

Last March, the Nevada Democratic Party came together and put together the rules of the caucus. Because of the high number of casino workers in Las Vegas, and because those workers have to work on weekends, the Democrats of Nevada decided to have special, at-large caucus sites in certain select areas (like right on the Vegas Strip) to give those working people a chance to make their voices heard.

[...]

Suddenly, a mere days before the caucus, we now see a lawsuit to shut down those at-large sites and deny the casino workers their right to vote. Three of the plaintiffs voted for the very plan they’re now trying to block – reasonable people have guessed they’re changing their minds presumably because just a few days ago the Culinary Workers Union endorsed Barack Obama.

That lawsuit would allegedly be filed by Hillary supporters.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

Update: Suit dismissed.

Democratic Strategy

Remember the Kos post urging Democrats in Michigan to cast their primary vote for Twit Romney so that he'd be the man to beat? Well, some of Obama's folks are apparently urging a similar move, only they're asking Republicans to vote for Obama in Nevada in order to squelch Hillary. It's so crazy....
