The junior Senator of Illinois will not participate in the Nevada Democratic Presidential Candidate forum being held in Carson City. The Rest of the field will participate. Obama's schedule is not permitting him to participate.

Obama, who is scheduled to be in southern Nevada the same week, couldn't work the Nevada forum into his itinerary, campaign spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said.

"It was a difficult decision. He very much wants to spend time getting to know the people of Nevada, talking about how we move the country forward, but there are only so many days in the calendar," Pfeiffer said. "He has a vigorous Senate schedule, it makes it very difficult to do all things he wants to do."

Earlier this week I got an article from Roll Call emailed to me on contributions to presidentail candidates titled, "No money, no problem". The article was about Barack Obama's campaign refusing to take contributions from PAC and registered federal lobbyist.

Among the qualifications for acceptable donations listed on Obama’s Web site are that the funds are not from a PAC. A donor also must certify that, "This contribution is not made from the funds of an individual registered as a federal lobbyist or a foreign agent, or an entity that is a federally registered lobbying firm or foreign agent."

As Fidel Castro's health fails our thoughts turn to Cuba. Fidel is "undergoing intestinal surgery and temporarily turning over power to his brother Raul."

The news came Monday night in a statement read on state television by his secretary, Carlos Valenciaga. The message said Castro's condition was apparently due to stress from a heavy work schedule during recent trips to Argentina and eastern Cuba. He did not appear on the broadcast. AP

We in the state of Nevada thank our senior Senator, Harry Reid for giving us, the people of Nevada and Westerners a voice in the Democratic presidential nomination. Without Senator Reid it would not have been possible. In reaching out to all the members of the committee and openly supporting Chairman Howard Dean's "50 state strategy", Senator Reid secured this important victory for our state.

Nevada and Western issues will be addressed during the Democratic presidential nomination, thanks to the man from Searchlight, Nevada, Senator Harry Reid. Read More
