Nevada State elections

NEWS UPDATE: Hillary Clinton and Romney won the elections from Nevada.

Democratic and Republican caucuses seen as a crapshoot

Why were caucuses moved up? Four reasons: the growing West, a large Hispanic population, a heavily unionized work force and the influence of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada
Republicans followed the Democrats’ lead and will hold their caucuses on the same day to coincide with their regularly scheduled precinct meetings. Reasons for doing so: Nevada is a key Western state that voted for Bush in 2004, and the earlier caucuses help increase voter participation
Traditional working-class Democrats hold sway over liberal activists, which could help candidates prepared to talk about practical issues and policy details
Barack Obama received a big boost from the state’s Latino population when the culinary workers endorsed him
Hillary Clinton got an endorsement from labor activist Richard Chavez, brother of legendary union organizer Cesar Chavez
The state’s Republican delegates are up for grabs, but most Republican candidates will be focusing their attention on that day’s South Carolina primary
