LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday allowed Nevada's Democratic Party to conduct voting to choose a U.S. presidential nominee in casino hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, a decision likely to boost Sen. Barack Obama.

A teachers' group filed a lawsuit saying the exception for the casino workers' vote was unfair, but Judge James Mahan of the U.S. District Court for Nevada disagreed and declined to issue a temporary injunction.

The Democratic Disenfranchisers lose.

1. "Strip caucuses"?

Is that like "strip poker"?

[Renew Deal]

2. lol, the losers have to strip.

:D

[SoxFan]

3. Dear god, no!

:puke:

[aquart]

6. No, no.

With each person you convince to vote your way, you have to remove an article of clothing. I could see this becoming very popular. And well attended.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

4. Just as it was planned...

and how it should be.

Good news.

[mod mom]

5. This is great news to all of us who want to make voting easier to all who wish to participate

Let the Republicans be the party of suppressing certain blocks of voters!

[aquart]

7. I'm thinking, not so much.

This sets up some vile precedents and I can see court action for decades over this. Somebody said on DU why not caucuses in brothels? Well, brothels contain shift workers and why can't they sue for equal rights in this? Are they less equal citizens?

If they caucus by employment, why not every workplace? Because some workplaces are more special than others? This challenge was last minute. There will, and should be, much more serious ones.

8. If the Democratic Party approves caucuses in brothels, so be it.

They don't caucus be employment. Anyone that lives within 2.5 miles of the site can caucus.

9. Why not caucus in brothels?

Anywhere the party wishes to have people get together and vote, they should get together and vote.

[Renew Deal]

12. I think brothel caucusing is long past due.

Hehehe I said long. :D

[DeSwiss]

18. "brothel caucusing?"

...so that's like, more than three, eh?

You've got my vote.... :thumbsup: :evilgrin:

[tranche]

15. What's Next, a Sex with Ballot Box Initiative? n/t

[stimbox]

16. Suck my caucus, please?

:silly: :crazy:

Sorry couldn't resist.

[saigon68]

21. Yes the AFSCME machine rolls on

Its interesting to watch them work their miracles.

Especially when Bill goes off like that

I'm surprised he didn't let his surrogates take the SHOT

10. A good day for democracy. I never doubted that the courts would rule this way.

Bill Clinton's tirade yesterday on television hurt Hillary.

As an Obama supporter, I enjoyed when I saw Bill exploding on TV on this issue because I knew it would only help Obama.

As a Democrat, I was sorry to see Bill lowering himself to that level and pissing away the goodwill he'd built up over the years.

I'm torn: I want Bill to continue campaigning because he's helping Obama, but on the other hand, when this is all over, I'm sorry to see his legacy reduced to being a sneaky political trickster.

[Renew Deal]

11. Did Bill's tirade make it on TV?

Do you still think Obama will win NV?

[David Zephyr]

17. All over television and especially in Nevada.

He blew up and, I actually felt sorry for him as he clearly lost his temper and now the court has ruled against him.

Obama will win Nevada and John Edwards will place second.

[loveangelc]

14. Bill Clinton is making himself look stupid almost everytime he opens his mouth recently

I approve.

[ursi]

20. I think this whole case gave us a new way to see what it's going to be like

to have Bill and Hillary back in charge again.

[loveangelc]

13. of course he did.

good job.

[thunder rising]

19. Not just the locations will hurt Hillary ... those folks know who was out to cut them out.
