US - Hillary Clinton tries to rig Nevada primary

and uses hubby as attack dog.

"Matthews asked politely why the ''at-large'' caucus locations have been challenged by members of the teachers union -- many of them Hillary supporters. (The critics say the Strip location caucuses will give culinary union members an unfair advantage, one other workers don't have, to participate in the Nevada caucuses during their work hours.) Matthews asked Clinton about the perception that the challenges were filed only after the culinary union's recent Obama endorsement. "


There's just one problem with Clinton's argument, the Nevada vote is on Jan 19th - a Saturday. Many people, and most teachers, do no work on Saturday while most casino workers do. So in fact, it was the teachers who had an unfair advantage.
