Yay for Hillary!

Hillary Clinton won the Nevada caucus. I don't hold out much hope for a win in South Carolina, but I am savoring the night. Her win comes after some reports of voter intimidation by some union bosses. Allegedly, the union bosses threatened to give anyone who didn't support Obama shifts where they couldn't attend the caucus, which begs the question, how fair and private are the caucuses? In caucuses, you go stand in a certain part of the room to support your candidate and everyone knows who you support. If your boss supports one candidate and you support another, it is within the realm of possibility that you could find yourself in for some retaliation. I really think this is something that needs to be done away with. You should be able to cast your ballot in private and support whatever candidate you want without being made to answer for it.
