Reid didn't outright endorse her but he did do what he could do to get a large turnout from the Culinary Union where he knew she has a lot of support:
"Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid didn't endorse in the Nevada Democratic race, but moves he made in the month before Saturday's caucus helped deliver Hillary Clinton a win."
"A month ago, Reid called D. Taylor, the head of the culinary union, to push the powerful organization to set up at large caucus sites inside Las Vegas' major casinos and provide transportation and organization to get culinary workers to those sites, according to a senior Reid aide."
"They didn’t endorse, but they did do that," the aide added, noting that there were six at-large caucus sites at Las Vegas casinos today. "What you really want with culinary, you want them setting up at large caucus sites and them bringing their people there."
"Clinton went on to win all six at-large sites, some by big 2-1 margins. Reid knew well before making that call to Taylor that Clinton would do well with culinary workers. She did in 2008, despite the fact that powerful union endorsed then Sen. Barack Obama."
"The aide added that Reid made the call because he "was annoyed that culinary decided not to endorse." So while the Senate minority leader abstained from endorsing, he did help tip some scales for Clinton."

Yet another reason for me to love me some Harry Reid. Of course, I also love me some Jim Clyburn.

As Clyburn says, tonight is the start of the Dem family coming together. Seeing him support Hillary this way-putting aside the media's obsessive narrative about how 2008 is still in the air-is powerful.

Mike, I gotta call the "Wiin."
ReplyDeleteBTW, Google beats other news sources for up to the second information on exactly what I want to know: what is the current percentage that each of the GOP candidates are at in the SC race. You'll spend lots of fruitless time searching through other news sources, scanning past stupid ads and words looking for a simple table like this.
ReplyDeleteNice. How do you search for those results though?
ReplyDeleteOh you just searched for South Carolina primary
