There is really no other way to read this:

The teachers union has drawn knives on the Culinary Workers, deepening the potential political rifts over Nevada’s Jan. 19 Democratic caucus.

A lawsuit filed late Friday in federal court seeks to stop the Democratic Party from holding caucus meetings at nine Strip hotels, which would diminish the influence of casino workers and hamper Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign.

The complaint, with the state teachers union and some party activists as plaintiffs, came as Obama accepted the endorsement of the Culinary Union. The timing seemed designed to cloud the good buzz from his campaign, which could only help Sen. Hillary Clinton’s efforts in the state.

The lawsuit claims that those voting in at-large precincts being held on the Strip would have too much weight compared with those voting at their polling places, violating the equal protection law of the U.S. Constitution. It also claims the at-large precincts violate state statute in the way they were drawn.

Real Clear Politics notes that Hillary has the support of the American Federation of Teachers, and that at least one person at the law firm representing the plaintiff's is a Hillary backer. While only a full-scale investigation would be able to get to the bottom of this, it seems pretty clear that Hillary is attempting to suppress Obama's voters...you know, what Democrats routinely - and falsely - accuse Republicans of doing.

This is no surprise at all given the overwhelming evidence over the past 16 years that Hillary Clinton is dishonest and dishonorable - and as Matt and I noted in Caucus of Corruption, there is a long history of election fraud in the Democratic party.

Question: if this works and derails Obama, will Obama's supporters swallow it and then switch over to Hillary in November?
