The teachers union has drawn knives on the Culinary Workers, deepening the potential political rifts over Nevada’s Jan. 19 Democratic caucus.
A lawsuit filed late Friday in federal court seeks to stop the Democratic Party from holding caucus meetings at nine Strip hotels, which would diminish the influence of casino workers and hamper Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign.
The complaint, with the state teachers union and some party activists as plaintiffs, came as Obama accepted the endorsement of the Culinary Union. The timing seemed designed to cloud the good buzz from his campaign, which could only help Sen. Hillary Clinton’s efforts in the state.

What about voting in cemeteries? Is the Clinton Machine going to still allow that?
The Nevada Education Association is playing hardball and shilling for Hillary.
Officially there is no endorsment for Hillary from the union, but its leaders endorse her.
A smelly nasty example of Democrat politics in Nevada.
They are fighting each other right now, so don’t let the MSM paint the political story as being about some GOP split only.
Wow it keeps getting better.
No voting along the strip and no voting if you ar a veteran.
These Clintons are garbage.
This is a full fledged assault by the Clintonistas on the rights of others that disagre with them.
This is just a taste of what we have in store under her thighness.
Clinton could still win the rat nomination (though I think her chances are seriously diminished) but if she does I think she’s going to end up looking like Darth Vader to a sizable percentage of the rat electorate.
Where are the Obama supporters? Isn’t it about time for Obama to play the race card?
After this internal squabble, these two groups will still vote for Obama or sHillary in the general election, like good little sheep. They would rather be abused harder than a lonely mans pen1s then actually put up resistance, support a non-RAT candidate or buck their own system.
I am not surprised by this "eating of their own" and I will not be surprised when, like a dog, they return to their won vomit and eat it, whether that pile of vomit is an Obama-Vomit or sHillary-Vomit.
I think if there is a big enough bitter battle, there’ll be many who won’t vote at all..
But your statement has a lot of validity..
Not if they're voting for Obama!
The Democrats infiltrate lots of things (NOW, for example, and the NEA is another one), and turn it into another democrat tool for power..
I am sure that the vast majority of the Kitchen and Housekeeping workers in the Hotels in Las Vegas are Illegals. I also am quite sure they’ll be voting as instructed early and often.
Seeing the hardball tactics of the Nevada NEA is a good time to remember that Mike Huckabee was endorsed by the Arkansas and New Hampshire NEA.
Blacks and Hispanics typically do not get along. Both Hillary and Obama are playing on this.
And this is only the caucus!!
