Nevada Caucus

The Nevada Caucus is very much a blur. Following our big win in New Hampshire, our program simply launched and at times felt like we were trying to assemble a jumbo jet in midair.

There were late nights, lots of laugh, not enough personal space, but most of all, a win.

I will say that it was one of the most exhausting and yet inspirational things I've seen in a long time. These women in the casinos standing up to people telling them who to vote for, bucking the system, chanting and cheering and waving signs to vote for their candidate, was amazing.

In the meantime, here are my favorite pictures from Caucus morning in Paris, Paris:

This picture actually ran in the Las Vegas Sun and was beamed into Reno at the Clinton party - as well as in the Reno newspaper. It was the moment that it was announced that Hillary won 42 delegates to Obama's 19 - in a place where we were not expected to pick up a single delegate

Here are the workers standing for Clinton - overpowering the Obama supporters

It was intense. And no, I cannot extrapolate much now because I'm still trying to figure out how to explain it...

Soon, I'll dissect Iowa and Nevada and give you the insider game. For now, back home to New York to make sure the Senator wins her home state and huuuge.
