From my Nevada caucus video archives is Barack Obama's speech and town hall meeting held at the Carson City Community Center on January 14, 2008, just a few days before the Nevada caucus. While there is a little bit of camera jumble because I was taking still pictures, there is a lot of good footage of the senator as he noticed I had a camcorder. From part 2 on this is evident, and I thought it was...

With Nevada's primary season upon us and a presidential battleground general election looming in November it is safe to say that if you are a registered voter there is a good chance your phone will be ringing a lot. But if the thought of robo calls and eager volunteers from out of state bugging you is too much to take, there may be some help. StopPoliticalCalls.org is compiling a "do not contact" list...

This is the second volume of scrapbooks of the Nevada Caucus campaign, Reno version. I should note I saw Barack Obama twice, the first time last spring, but I didn't get any decent pictures of him (though I got his speech then as well as the one in January on video). I saw Hillary Clinton a grand total of four times, but the last appearances she made (the day before the caucus and two days prior to...

cross-posted to goodCRIMETHINK I just had a phone call with Greer Westerink. She was my canvassing partner in South Dallas. You can see previous posts: canvassing in the hood/meeting Ron Kirk and discussing the dirt she saw go down in the Nevada caucus ). Greer is in Indianapolis and spent the day getting out the vote in a wealthy suburban neighborhood that was heavily pro-Obama. This is just one first-hand...

Wait, didn't Nevada already vote on Jan. 19? Yes, but Hillary Clinton's narrow victory wasn't the end of Nevada's nominating process. As CQ's Marie Horrigan reports, the state has a three-step system, and the precinct caucuses, which Clinton won, were...

Just days before the Nevada caucus (and hours after the most powerful union in the state endorsed Obama), the Nevada State Education Association sued the state Democratic party over their voting system, which had been agreed upon months in advance (the Clinton campaign claimed they had nothing to do with the suit, even though the [...]

NEVADA CAUCUS CHAOS; ALASKA SEN STEVENS RUNS AGAIN; GOP NOMINEE QUITS OPEN IL CD-11 RACE; KLEEB RUNS IN NEB. P2008 - DEMS. The second round of Democratic Presidential caucuses collapsed into chaos in the state's largest county, with the Clinton and Obama campaigns banding together to end the flawed Clark County convention. The convention was apparently so poorly planned that the Las Vegas location...

Great Journalism.... Kucinich: "The Incident Did Not Happen" By David Swanson I spoke with Congressman Dennis Kucinich because a rumor was gaining traction that: "Before the Nevada primary, Dennis was visited by representatives of Nancy Pelosi and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — AIPAC. They told Dennis that if he would drop his campaigns to impeach Cheney and Bush, they would guarantee...

The Democrats were elected to REMOVE bush from power. Not to protect him. But that's just what Pelosi is doing: Before the Nevada primary, [Presidential candidate] Dennis [Kucinich] was visited by representatives of Nancy Pelosi and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — AIPAC. They told Dennis that if he would drop his campaigns to impeach [...]

The national media pundits seem bent on wringing the last ounce of contention out of the long gone Nevada Democratic Caucus. To this end Ben Smith offers a vignette of his version of what happened in Precinct 2311 . (via the Gleaner ) It would have been a more interesting piece had not Smith merely added to the national themes in which the punditry provide ‘short-hand’ bits to embellish their established...

By Wayne Kinney of Bend, Oregon. Wayne is one of Oregon's members of the Democratic National Committee, and is Chair of the Democratic Party of Oregon's Rules Committee. I spent four days in Reno last week, but I never saw the inside of a casino. I didn't go for any presidential candidate, or like Grant, two of them at once. I went because I wanted to help Nevadans in their first early primary caucus,...

This past weekend Nevada held its first ever early caucus. Like any political event, ONE was there. When I turned on CNN on Saturday I couldn't miss seeing ONE shirts. But that was just one caucus, and with tens of thousands of members around Nevada and hundreds of caucus sites there are many more stories [...]
