Obama Camp Complains to Nevada Dems (Clintons violated rules - shocker)
AP via Breitbart ^ | Jan 23 01:19 PM | JIM KUHNHENN

Barack Obama's presidential campaign complained in a letter to the Nevada Democratic Party Wednesday that rival Hillary Rodham Clinton benefited from numerous violations of party rules during the state's caucuses on Saturday.

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.

Attached to the Obama complaint was an instruction sheet that Bauer's letter attributed to the Clinton campaign. 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.

The letter complained that the Clinton camp distributed a caucus guide to supporters that said caucus site doors would close at 11:30 a.m. The party's rules stated that caucuses would be called to order at 11:30 a.m. but said attendees had to be signed in by noon.

She’s an evil, wicked skank. And Obama should come out and say so.

He’s afraid to “expose” her, for she will yet “expose” him!

It sure will be interesting to see if he "falls into line" if she wins the nomination.

A real man wouldn't, we'll see what Obama does.

“Perhaps some Dems will wake up”

Dude, they just don’t care. Remember, they rallied to Clinton after he was impeached for lying to a grand jury...and insist the impeachment was really about sex. Clinton will always get a pass from Dems.

Yeah, it's not surprising (well it's surprising they are so open about it). Although none of my candidates are left in the Republican race, those still supporting Republicans should keep a careful eye on this, because if she manages to steamroll Obama, she'll do it to whoever gets the GOP nomination. The only good news is, Obama seems ready for her. I don't care for him, but I'll give him credit for locking horns with Bill and Hillary. Edwards and a lot of others would have (or did) just roll over and play dead.

The worst outcome is if she wins the Dem nomination, and Huckabee wins the GOP nomination (doubtful). She'll squash him like a bug - the Clintons and their cronies from Arkansas know where all of Huckabees skeletons are buried...

I think Obama should move beyond the “Clinton’s are cheating and lying” mode. He’s right-they do but not enough people give a you know what. He should re-assume the role of visionary.

Obama can hardly be called a VRWC member, now can he?

Rush has been giving Obama tips for weeks if only his people would use them to put her on the defensive, like the internal memo’ recently released as part of Judicial Watch request about HillaryCare-Gate.

It sure will be interesting to see if he has an “unfortunate” accident or commits “suicide” some time in the near future.

“It’s not illegal unless they tell you so.”

GREAT QUOTE!!!! Hmmm,, “It is not...” doesn’t that depend on the definition of “is”.

Now Obama knows what it’s like to be a Republican voter in a big city run by Dems.

That might be good for his campaign, but I hope he continues exposing these lying cheating scoundrels. That’s for our and America’s benefit.

Doesn’t this idiot get it yet. The Clintons would behead every member of their own family with a kitchen knife if it meant power and getting what they want.

This guy better realize it’s time to fight back, before it’s too late. The women’s history is littered with lies, hired detectives, beatings and deaths, scandal after scandal, illegal campaign contributions, sleazy last minute pardons and a number of people who worked with her who will testify she’s incompetent...

He needs to remind people who the Clintons are and ask people do they really want this ugliness back in the Oval Office. Me might be able to beat her, but only if he starts playing hard ball with the bitch...

"It sure will be interesting to see if she "falls into line" if she wins the nomination.

I would suspect that the odds are pretty high that no matter what they say to each other now and through the rest of the campaign, if Hillary wins, she will offer him the VP slot and he will accept with a big group hug all around.

My sense was, at one time, that this has been the plan all along. Now with him making these squeaks I'm not so sure.

But in the end I think you'll be right on with this, and the ticket will be nearly impossible to combat.
