Even the most eager to cast their vote this year can easily be deterred by the bureaucratic swamp they must wade through first.

Nevada Caucus: Is There a Hispanic Voter in the House?new
The sole drama pertaining to our state's first-ever caucus of importance will be the neck-and-neck race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama; and, provided the way each candidate has started his or her rush-hour campaign in Las Vegas, it appears that the resolution to that drama will be provided by the Valley's Hispanic population.
