Gettin' Dizzy in the Spin Room

By Tessie Guillermo on 31 January 2008 - 10:57pm

I wasn’t at the CNN Democratic Presidential debate in Los Angeles tonight between Senator Hilary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama, but I was at the debate in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. At the Las Vegas venue the audience was all minorities, union members, and civil servants, since it was sponsored by the 100 Black Men organization and U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the College of Southern Nevada.
