Main question appears to be just how politically tone-deaf Hillary is.

We already have the Woodstock museum funding, playing into McCain's hands if he's the Republican nominee. And recently the spectacle of her surrogates attacking Obama on the basis Mr. Limbaugh would be expected to use--smearing on the basis of drug use--then of course artfully backing away--fooling nobody. And getting barely a slap on the wrist from Hillary.

And now the Nevada caucus. Last March the Democratic party agreed to set up "so-called at-large caucus sites in nine Strip hotels (Las Vegas) on Saturday to accommodate workers who can't attend caucuses in their neighborhoods." (WSJ)

Hillary may well win Nevada--she was long expected to do so and has increased appeals to women just recently.

But not being satisfied with this, the Nevada state teachers union, whose members are among Hillary's core supporters, has asked a federal court to stop the casino caucuses. Bill Clinton supports the objection.

All the campaigns--including Hillary's-- signed off on the casino caucus plan months ago. But now there is a chance Obama might win in Nevada. Timing of the objection is interesting. If there was a problem, why wait til now to bring it up?


Perhaps Hillary has decided that in the event she is the nominee, she won't need the votes of the Culinary Workers Union, which has endorsed Obama.

The union's secretary-treasurer calls the suit "an attempt to disenfranchise thousands of union members" who will be working on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

And there are quite a few blacks and Hispanics--Hispanics supposedly being one of Hillary's main targets--in the union.

Must be nice being so secure that you can write off thousands of votes.
