LAS VEGAS - Last night's local news was dominated by the caucus lawsuit, and explainers about how Nevada strip workers will be able to attend caucus precincts inside nine casinos tomorrow. (Here's my story from the campaign trail about the lawsuit and the nasty attack ad a pro-Barack Obama union is running against Sen. Hillary Clinton.)

But this morning, the news has not been about candidate speeches from a packed day of stumping across the Silver State. Instead, it's all about Tyra. Each of the local news shows — even Telemundo and Access Hollywood — have included previews of the Clinton-Tyra Banks interview, which airs today. (Might it be similar to the "softer side" of Clinton that was showcased the day before the last election in New Hampshire?)

This clip of Clinton's "reality show" dream has been circulating since she taped the show last week.

Obama was on the Tyra Banks show last fall.

Yesterday, basketball star Magic Johnson yesterday told voters at a North Las Vegas high school Clinton is the only candidate who can solve the problems facing the country, and offered a subtle rebuke of Obama.

"We need somebody who is not preaching hope, we need somebody who understands that there's a problem and they're preaching solutions and Hillary Clinton is preaching solutions," he said.

Also yesterday, former President Bill Clinton told a young voter he finds Obama to be "an immensely impressive man," who is "young," "vigorous," "attractive" and "a great speaker."

But he summed up the Obama argument against his wife as "You shouldn't vote for her because she's been around too long" and "We should get rid of everybody" who has been around for awhile.

"Mainly his argument is, we can't make a new beginning unless somebody really new is in charge," he said.

Today there is also some news buzz about Obama taking his wife, Michelle, out on the town for her birthday last night.

Local news also informed me that the lovely Miss America contestants are hanging out at the Venetian today. Sorry, no photos — I'll be hitting the road on Hill Force One to Elko and Reno.
