**Update on Clinton's Nevada voter suppression scheme

The Obama campaign is now officially protesting actions of the Clinton campaign at the 2008 Nevada caucuses.

"The letter to Nevada Democratic Chairwoman Jill Derby from Obama lawyer Robert Bauer lists instances of early door closings, obstruction of voters, and improper handling of voter preference cards. Obama aides said the campaign has received more than 1,600 complaints, including 300 that came in to a hotline at the time of the caucuses."

Of course the Clinton campaign is listing their own grievances.

"The Clinton campaign has also complained about behavior at the caucuses. On Sunday, Clinton senior adviser Dave Barnhart said he witnessed an enormous "gauntlet" of Obama supporters at the Mirage casino-hotel caucus site who tried to intimidate Clinton backers."

The best part of course was this little gem...

"The sheet offers guidance on how to persuade caucus goers to caucus for Clinton.
One line states: "It's not illegal unless they tell you so."
"This certainly suggests that, for the Clinton campaign, the operative standard was, simply and only, what it could get away with," Bauer wrote."

As a GOP campaign veteran I have believed that many well intentioned Democrats have "pushed the envelope" every election day in the interest of winning. Looks like these tactics have caught up to them.

Again, the double standard is sickening. If anything even remotely resembling these tactics was used by a Republican candidate in a General Election Al Sharpton would be staging hourly protests, the ACLU would have filed multiple lawsuits, Dan Rather would have come out of retirement to "get to the bottom" of it all and Congress would have already issued subpoenas for committee hearings.
