By: Molly BallCandidate's one-time role on board of directors might affect ability to appeal to Nevada's unions A few months ago, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton came to Henderson to tour a Smith's supermarket. Trailed by media and staff, the New York senator and former first lady made a circuit around the store, shaking hands with stockers and clerks in red shirts and black aprons. She nodded somberly as they told her what was on their minds.

Serving on Wal-Mart's board in Arkansas, she apparently never voiced objection to the company's union-busting tactics and anti-union philosophy.Today, she has distanced herself from Wal-Mart and remade herself as an ardently pro-labor politician.Clinton's campaign views her failure to advocate for labor back then, which it has not disputed, as ancient history.
