The fact that after all that - all the bad press, all the union endorsements, all the hype - it appears that the HRC Machine has triumphed again in Nevada (and it wasn't even close!) means, I fear, that she has successfully strangled Hope and Change in their cribs. Too bad, so sad.
Incidentally, for the GOP side - the candidates other than Romney should all hope that Ron Paul continues to hold onto second place, as he currently is, just to reduce the NV Caucus to a Wyoming level.

By Soren Dayton
Now, I wasn't at Redstate when the whole Card Check debate was going on, but, needless to say, Redstate was right, and the Democrats were wrong.
What is so funny today is that the Hillary Clinton people, after getting beaten trying to reduce the power of the culinary union, are screaming about union intimidation. One diarist over at MyDD captured the problem like this:
This is an open caucus. Union members will be standing in the same room with other union members. Or maybe even their shop steward. Or their foreman. Or possibly even a union official. Everyone will know which candidate you're backing. And if you're a member of Culinary Workers Local 226, and you don't caucus for Senator Obama???
Lemme get the argument straight. Secret ballots are important to protect you in a caucus from union thugs, but not in a vote in a unionized shop?
I love watching the Democrats. They are validating our arguments about the Democrat Party. They prove the deep strain of racism in their party. They prove our arguments about union thuggery. They have a couple more weeks to give us more attacks... Fun fun fun.

A local TV reporter, Mark Matthews of KGO in San Francisco, gets a bit of the Chris Wallace treatment from President Bill Clinton as he presses the would-be First Spouse on a lawsuit that seeks to reduce the number of caucus sites in Nevada.
