OBAMA FINALLY GIVES UP (NEVADA): Barry Hussein did pretty well in Reno, which is a mostly black/Muslim area, but Hillary smashed his Hope down here in Las Vegas, despite the busboys’ union endorsement. Obama’s official statement is a dignified and hopeful message. Ha ha, just kidding: It just whines about all the hundreds of caucus irregularities. Also, Obama won more actual delegates, so he actually won after all! [Las Vegas Sun]


Mitt Really Excited About Nevada

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

“Romney’s thrilled about his Magical Mormon victory in Nevada, where nobody but Romney (and Ron Paul!) bothered to campaign. It’s a very, very important victory, according to Romney.

Hillary Forever: Liveblogging the Casino Caucus!

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Here’s an idea as innovative as the Nevada Caucus “First In The West” itself: Invite the press, lock them in a terrible underground ballroom in a casino somewhere, and make sure there’s no sort of Internet or wireless or anything. Hooray! Anyway, that’s where your editor has been, and here’s the chilling semi-live-blogged account of this weird, weird process. MORE »
