A federal court yesterday dealt a bad hand to Hillary Rodham Clinton, smacking down an effort to stop Nevadans from caucusing at Las Vegas casinos like Caesars Palace and the Flamingo hotel.The Nevada teachers union, which has strong ties to Clinton, sued with other plaintiffs in Las Vegas this week to halt an effort to let casino cooks, maids and card dealers caucus at nine downtown casino sites.The effort to create "at large" precincts - backed by the state Democratic Party - was aimed at getting more low-wage workers to participate in the election process.Clinton and Barack Obama are running neck and neck in Nevada, which holds its caucuses tomorrow.Although the casino plan passed unanimously when the state party approved it in March, the Nevada State Education Association and people tied to the Clinton camp filed suit just two days after the powerful, 60,000-strong Culinary Workers Union endorsed Obama.But the judge who made yesterday's ruling didn't buy the argument that the precincts violate the "one man, one vote" principle"We aren't voting here, we're caucusing. That's something that parties decide," Judge James Mahan said.""The Clinton camp says it was never behind the lawsuit - although Bill Clinton ripped the process as unfair in comments this week.Why "make a special rule only for these workers?" he said.
