With a flurry of endorsements, Bernie Sanders shores up Nevada support

[melman]

The Clark County Black Caucus said Thursday that it would throw its support behind Bernie Sanders, the latest in a flurry of Nevada endorsements this week as he seeks to shore up support in a key early contest.

"When you look at his platform and his consistency, over the years he has a long history fighting for civil rights and economic justice," Yvette Williams, chair of the Clark County Black Caucus, tells CBS News.

"We've interviewed him as well, and he has concrete plans in place that will address many of the inequities, inequalities, and injustices of black America," Williams added.


Clark County includes Las Vegas, and is far and away the most populous county in the state. Racking up supporters in the county is essential for any candidate who hopes to win the Nevada caucuses on February 22nd.

The Clark County Black Caucus' endorsement comes as other Nevada groups have rallied to Sanders. On Tuesday, the immigrant rights group Make the Road Action made public its plans to leverage their organizing heft in Nevada for the Sanders campaign. Meanwhile, the Clark County Education Association, Nevada's largest teachers union, announced Monday that it too would back the Vermont senator.

Tell you about what? I don't know about it. That's why I asked you the meaning.


Or are you suggesting I write like that? That would be strange as I absolutely never have.

8. He's actually ahead in all four early states, by an ever increasing margin as they turn out to vote:

1st - Iowa: 0.4
2nd - New Hampshire: 1.0
3rd - Nevada: 5.7
4th - South Carolina: 17.0

Then on to Super Tuesday, which is likely to be a blowout for him.
