It's true, there are lots of issues with caucuses, but there are also benefits to them. The fact that voters have the opportunity to support a second choice is a huge deal, and something that is sorely missing in American elections. There are certainly better ways to accomplish it, but at this very moment I'm just thankful that sometimes, somewhere, voters have the opportunity.
It's true that SC is a must-win for Obama, but I don't think he needs to worry about that too much. What puts him in much greater jeopardy are the major Feb 5 states like California, where he trails by a sizable margin (the RealClearPolitics average puts Clinton ahead by 12 points).
At least one good thing came out of Nevada though: I wasn't sure who I was going to vote for on Feb 5, but now I know.
