Nevada's Holding a Caucus, and I Get to Play!


I've mentioned before that Nevada's fight for an early spot in the Presidential race, and making it a caucus was sort of like a little town putting in a roundabout because they think it's "classy." I still feel that way a little, but I'm glad too. Our votes for Presidential nominees have never really counted before, and this year they will.

The in-fighting (seemingly) between Obama and Clinton, with where the caucuses will be allowed. Dennis Kucinich's (possibly successful) fight to be included in tomorrow night's debate. It's very odd for all of this to be happening in our back yard. Not OJ Simpson odd, but odd.

I'll be caucusing for John Edwards on Saturday, and hope to blog about it upon my return. In the meantime, here's a little of that news I was talking about.
