LAS VEGAS Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders in the Nevada caucuses Saturday,her first unqualified win of the campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

Nevada was supposed to be Clinton country all along, but the former secretary of States seemingly insurmountable lead of more than 20 points had shriveled in recent weeks, raising concerns about the possibility of another embarrassment following her 22-point loss in New Hampshire and her razor thin victory inIowa, which was described as a virtual tie.

Instead, she was on her way to a clear victory, but still within single digits, giving Sanders and his supporters room to to claim the day was not a total loss.

"Some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other," she told supporters at a victory rally. "And this one is for you."

Clinton congratulated Sanders, but then needled him for his focus on condemning the rich for trying to control the political system.

We arent a single-issue country, she said. We need more than a plan for the big banks. The middle class needs a raise! And we need more jobs. We need jobs that pay well and cant be outsourced.

Clinton won all six at-large precincts set up on Las Vegas Strip for on-duty casino and hotel shift workers on Saturday, Nevada Democratic Party results showed. At the Paris casino, the caucusgoers were almost exclusively Latino and black and Clinton snagged more than twice the delegates Sanders received.

Sanders did better than expected with Latino voters, entrance polling showed, but Clinton carried off a big win with African American voters a segment of the population shes counting on to help her win in the Southern states that vote next month.

It was a blow to Sanders, who had hoped Nevada would prove he has what it takes to carry more diverse states.

First Take: Clinton win halts Sanders momentum as battle heads to Southern races

Sanders issued a statement shortly after the race was called,saying he had spoken to Clinton and congratulated her on her victory here in Nevada.

In a speech to supporters, he said he still believes he has the momentum in the Democratic contest nationwide."I believe that on Super Tuesday we've got an excellent chance to win many of those states," he said, and his nomination at theDemocratic convention in Philadelphia will mark"one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States."

Leomia Dillon, a 55-year-old guest service operator at the Paris casino, was ecstatic about Clinton's victory.

I like what she stands for, said Dillon, who is black. She stands for women, and equal pay for women.

The results were a disappointment to Dennis Torh, 47, who works in housekeeping at the hotel at the Paris casino. Bernie Sanders stood with MLK and has great experience. He wants everyone to be able to afford a college education, said Torh, who is black and has no college degree.

Clinton backers said the victory proved shes better at retail campaigning that political observers usually give her credit for. She personally visited the back-of-the-house at casinos to ask shift workers for their votes, including a midnight visit to Caesars Palace after a 16-hour day on Wednesday.

In the final days before the Nevada caucuses, the candidates took turns trying to make a dent in the others popularity, especially with black and Latino voters.Minority voters held the cards in Nevada, where 48.5% of the population is non-white.

Clinton repeatedly stressed her closeness with President Obama, the nations first black president. Sanders this week accused Clinton of pandering to blacks, telling the Black Entertainment Television cable network that she loves the president, he loves her and all that stuff. And we know what that's about. That's trying to win support from the African-American community where the president is enormously popular.

A photograph surfaced on Friday that helped Sanders counter Clinton surrogates claim that he was absent from the civil rights battle. TheChicago Tribune dug outof its archives a photo of a 21-year-old Sanders, a University of Chicago student at the time, resisting arrest during a 1963 protest over racial inequality.

Immigration has been another point of contention this week. Team Clinton attacked Sanders for voting against a 2007 immigration bill; Sanders defended his opposition, saying he believed its guest worker provision to be morally wrong. The dispute prompted a leading Latino rights activist, Brent Wilkes of the League of United Latin American Citizens, to call Clintons criticism unfair. Wilkes told BuzzFeed News: Its hard to separate Hillarys record from (her husbands). The Clintons, when they were in office, werent exactly friends to immigrants.

Clintons trustworthiness, and her closeness to the powerful financial industry leaders of Wall Street, were big themes in the closing days, as well.

Clinton stirred trouble for herself by seeming to hedge when asked in a CBS News interview on Thursday if shed echo President Jimmy Carters pledge to never lie to the American people. She answered that she doesnt think she has ever lied.

I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will, she told CBS anchor Scott Pelley.

Sanders continued to pushClinton to release transcripts of her closed-door speeches to Wall Street. Thursday night, during the MSNBC town hall forum in Las Vegas, Clinton said shed be happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same. Team Sanders fired back in an email statement Friday: So, OK. Bernie accepts Hillary Clintons challenge. We will release the transcripts of all his Wall Street speeches. Right here. In this email. Bernie's never been paid to speak to Wall Street.

The candidates'relatives also made headlines this week.

Sanders brother Larry caught attention for telling the Daily Beast that voters are too busy debating whether Bill really such a terrible rapist or is he a nice rapist to evaluate his presidential record. A Sanders aide said Friday that Sanders doesnt agree with his brothers characterization.

In Reno on Friday, Bill Clinton blasted Sanders for running a remarkably fact-free campaign, then expressed frustration during the Las Vegas rally later day, saying that these days, hes just a happy grandfather who doesnt wake up mad at anyone, but that has changed in the last few days.

Hillary Clinton criticized Sanders proposals for free stuff such as government-paid public college tuition for all, and on Friday night told Nevada voters she wont overpromise.

I will not make promises I cant keep, she said at her Las Vegas rally.

Hillary Clinton said in her Nevada victory speech

Hillary Clinton barks like a dog to slam Republicans …

Not really. But Clinton told a colorful story on Monday in Reno that ended with the former secretary of state barking like a dog.

Clinton was in the middle of a riff about how, in her view, Republicans say things that are not true, when she remembered a radio ad that she said ran in rural Arkansas while her husband, Bill Clinton, was running for office.

"(Republicans) actually, with a straight face, say that the great recession was caused by too much regulation on Wall Street. They actually say that," Clinton said.

Then she launched into her story.

"One of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad in rural Arkansas where the announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction to whether it was true or not. Well, we have trained this dog. Well, the dog, if it is not true, he is going to bark,'" Clinton said. "And the dog was barking on the radio and so people were barking at each other for days after that."

Clinton tips her hand on Supreme Court nominations

"I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh," Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and some people to mimic her.

"I think," Clinton concluded, "we could cut right through a lot of their claims."

America's crazy voting system, explained

Kady O’Malley: Tories go passive aggressive to pressure …

At this point, it almost doesnt matter if the Conservatives go ahead and put it to the House during tomorrows debate (although for obvious reasons, one cant help but hope that they do).

In one fell swoop, the Tories havemanaged to come up with what may be the most passive aggressive Opposition Day motion in recent parliamentary history, which appears (twice, for some reason) on todays Notice Paper, courtesy of House Leader (and former speaker) Andrew Scheer and finance critic Lisa Raitt:

That the House: (a) thank the independent non-partisan officials from the Department of Finance for their hard work and evidence-based analysis; (b) acknowledge their most recent Fiscal Monitor which informed Members and Canadians that, for the period from April to November 2015 of the 20152016 fiscal year, the previous government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.0 billion; and (c) concur in its conclusions and express its confidence in the Deputy Minister and his team.

How, one wonders, could the Liberals possibly vote against such a heartfelt paean to those tireless pennycounters toiling in the bowels of the finance department let alone an explicit expression of confidence in the deputy minister?

Yet if they support it, they will implicitly conceding a point that the Conservatives have been relentlessly attempting to drive home in recent days: namely, that when their party handed over the keys to the coffers, there was a billion dollar surplus that the new occupants seem distinctly reluctant to acknowledge.

That particular squabble has been raging in Question Period in recent days, with the Conservatives citing a December 2015 report from the department that they claim backs up their case. The Liberals, however, have consistently maintained that it was the outgoing government that left the country in the red.

We should find out whether the Tories will call that bluff later today, or choose to let the government off comparatively easy by choosing one of the other motions on notice for today, which includes an impassioned defence of the (likely soon to be mothballed) Office of Religious Freedom, as well an evergreen plea for an end to internal trade barriers.

But even if they dont use it tomorrow, it will live forever on the Order Paper, a shining example of the genre, and an inspiration for opposition strategists.

Clear Internet Marketing – Marketing With You

I am going to tell you how to steal your competitors twitter followers. The reason why you may want to steal your competitors following is because you have a targeted audience and maybe even a few people that are unhappy with there services. Here is how you can steal twitter followers.

Spy on your Competition

On Twitter you can find out who is tweeting about your competition by using the search feature. So the first thing I would do is perform a search on my competition. Lets say my competition is moz just for the sake of this article.

Now that we can see all of the people tweeting about them we can simply just dig through the results. We are going to be looking for people who have questions or upset people. Once you find someone with a question you should answer there question but do not pitch your products or services. This will build brand awareness and get you more customers latter on.

Lets take this this customer for example.

I would then just simply follow up with her. I would respond to her like this. Do you have specific tracking issues that you need help with ? I would love to help you out for free. So by tweeting and offering to help that customer for free can land you a new customer. This is just one of many that you can follow up with.

A Deeper Look At your Competition

Now we are going to use twitonomy to analyze them. All you need to do with this is just type in your competitors name and the tool will tell you everything you need to know about the company you are researching.

For example if I type in Moz I will get this information.

So from this chart here we can now see the users most mentioned, replied to and who is retweeting. This should give you a good idea of a few people you can contact. Just make sure that they are not working for the company it self. You can also see the type of content that their followers enjoy the most as Twitonomy lists their most retweeted and favorited tweets.

So now that we have analyzed all of there data we are all ready to steal there twitter followers.

The next thing you want to do is check there list. You will want to follow there most active users that they are engaging with. We can get a list of its users from Twitonomy. Once we have the list your going to want to make sure you monitor what those people are tweeting and provide a helping hand by answering their questions The next thing you want to look at all of the list that follow your competitor and engage with the people that created those list. Typically you will see a lots of list so your going to want to engage with there users that have the biggest list.

When I first started to steal followers all I did was just follow them. About 15% to 30% just followed me back. This tactic was effective for a little while but not in the long run.Although the steps above require a lot of work. They are a much more effective long term strategy of stealing your competitors followers
