Democrats Focus Next on Nevada

Jon Ralston: “Nevada Democrats caucus on Feb. 20, so Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will descend on the state this week, along with national media types eager to roll the dice, gamble on the future and see which campaign craps out.”

“The Democratic caucus in ’08 was vicious between Clinton and Obama. But I’m not sure I have ever seen such a pitched battle for one demographic as those two battling over the Hispanic vote, including putting a student college leader in the crossfire. The Hispanic vote was only about 14 percent of the caucus turnout in ’08, but in a close race it could be pivotal… I still think Hillary has a slight edge over Bernie because of her superior staff and appeal to minorities, but it could be close.”

Meanwhile, BuzzFeed reports the Clinton campaign is already forecasting a closer race in Nevada.
