A reporter with ABC news affiliate chanel 7 in San Francisco gets a sample of Bill's famous temper when he questions the former President on why the Nevada state teachers union which has ties to the Clintons filed a lawsuit to shut down special precints for Casino workers on the Las Vegas strip. The lawsuit came just two days after local 226 of the Culinary Workers Union endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton for the Democrat presidential nomination. While traveling in the Bay Area, Bill offers up some fuzzy math to explain the reason for the lawsuit by claiming special precints give some Democrat voters a "five-to-one" advantage over party voters working in other parts of the city. The lawsuit was rejected by U.S. District Court Judge James Mahan. Judge Mahan ruled that since the participants were caucusing and not voting in a general election that rules pertaining to precint location are set by national parties and not applicable to federal equal protection guarantees. Current polls show Clinton, Obama and Edwards in a statistical dead-heat in the Silver state. The Nevada State Education Association was one of the plaintiffs in the case. Nevada State Education Association president Lynn Warne, a Clinton supporter and a member of the campaign's Nevada Women's Leadership Council announced that the teacher's union would not appeal the court's decision.
