Nevada Democrats Seek to Boost Hispanic Turnout |
May 8, 2008
WashingtonPost.com
Ilene Rosenblum
As Nevada gears up to host the nation's second presidential caucus on Jan. 19, state Democrats are increasing their efforts to reach out to the Hispanic community, which heads to the polls in fewer numbers than its proportional share of the population in the Southwest.
One of the state party's latest initiatives is to create a new Spanish-English glossary that breaks down the process. After all, a caucus can be a difficult process to describe, even in English.

Nevada Democrats woo Latino voters |
 May 6, 2007
By Kathleen Hennessey
LAS VEGAS - There is no Spanish word for “caucus” and that is just one of Andres Ramirez’s problems.
The 29-year-old outreach director is responsible for selling the Nevada Democratic presidential caucus to the state’s large and underrepresented Hispanic population.
The number of Hispanics in the state has risen by more than 40 percent from 2000 to 2005, growth that Democrats used to win the coveted second-in-the nation caucus slot in mid-January. They promised a diverse electorate and a chance to strengthen the party’s lock with the fastest-growing minority group in the nation.
Now it is time to deliver.

Nevada is game for '08 caucuses |

By Mark Z. Barabak, Times Staff Writer
LAS VEGAS — Forget the jokes about caucusing in brothels, or trawling for votes amid the slot machines and blackjack tables along the neon-drenched Strip.
When Democratic presidential hopefuls come calling on Nevada, the real challenge will be the party faithful they find in this independent-minded state, which will host the West's first nominating contest in a little over a year.

CARSON CITY, Nev. — It all came down to Nevada in the presidential election on NBC's The West Wing last year. Now Nevada is politics central in real life, overrun with Democratic White House candidates hoping to win the state's new early caucuses next year.
With eight prospects participating in a forum today, this small state capital is experiencing a crush of attention usually reserved for places like Keene, N.H. or Davenport, Iowa. "This is a whole new ballgame," says D. Taylor, president of the 60,000-member Culinary Union. He goes by his first initial.

Chicago Tribune national correspondent
PAHRUMP, Nev. -- Loyal Watkins can't remember a time when a presidential candidate made the hour-long trip from Las Vegas to stump in this fast-growing desert town of sand and subdivisions. But that may be about to change.
With the Democratic National Committee's controversial decision last summer to shoehorn Nevada's caucus between the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire's vaunted first-in-the-nation primary in January 2008, the Silver State suddenly holds new luster for presidential hopefuls.

Nevada Feeling Political Glow of ’08 Spotlight |
 Friday, October 13, 2006 -
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
LAS VEGAS — No longer is it, “Um, Dina who?” The name of the Democratic candidate for governor here, Dina Titus, is tattooed on the brain of most every Democrat who wants to be president, because of Nevada’s newly vaunted position in the 2008 election calendar.
Since Democrats moved the caucus here smack between the Iowa caucus, the first contest of the year, and the New Hampshire primary, Ms. Titus has worked the fund-raising circuit with Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Senators Russell D. Feingold of
Wisconsin and John Kerry of Massachusetts and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Evan Bayh of Indiana and Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa are on their way.
