(Henderson, NV)
A U.S. District Court in Nevada, just dealt a blow to the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, (D-NY). Clinton's campaign, and the Nevada Teachers Union sued to stop Culinary Workers from caucusing this Saturday, at nine specially designated casino locations along the Las Vegas strip. Many of the culinary employees have to work Saturday, and this ruling allows them to work and vote. The Culinary Workers Union has a strong Latino and African-American membership, and has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, (D-IL). The Teacher's Union endorsed Sen. Clinton, and said the special voting arrangements for casino food workers amounted to a "special privlege." The federal court disagreed.
This could be crucial as the latest polls here have Clinton, Obama, and former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), locked in a dead heat, heading into Saturday's Caucuses.
We'll discuss the impact of this, Friday morning at 7:40 on KTVU's "Mornings on Two," 'live' from Las Vegas!
