FTA: "Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the Clinton campaign was trying to minimize the results of the caucuses. The former first lady and her team have made clear their unhappiness with caucuses, believing that they cater to the hard-core party activists who tend to support Obama. The Illinois senator has won 13 caucuses so far, while Clinton has won just two.
"This takes it to a new level, which is they don't want the people who are participating in those caucuses to have their results reported in a timely fashion. And I assume that's a very self-serving decision," Plouffe said." cont'd...

"If it is true that litigation is imminent between one or both of your campaigns and the Texas Democratic Party, such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated democratic process that is involving a record number of participants here in Texas and across the nation," party attorney Chad Dunn wrote. "Litigation regarding the TDP could cripple the momentum of a resurging Texas Democratic Party and ultimately the November 2008 election."
The letter also noted that many of Clinton's senior campaign advisers in Texas had helped to develop the rules governing the state's caucus system. A Texas party official also noted that former President Clinton won the state's caucuses in 1992 and 1996 following the same rules.
Texas has 193 delegates up for grabs Tuesday. Of those delegates, 126 will come from the primary, and 67 from the caucus."

This is just crazy. The rules have been in place for twenty years. You can't demand they be changed just for you! And dang it! Where was her call for a law suit over the shenanigans in Ohio in 2004? That affected a Presidential election, for cripes sake. Only when SHE feels slighted does she get upset? Just too weird for me.

The Clinton campaign was deeply involved in the decision to strip Michigan and Florida of votes at the convention, because they believed that they could force the state parties to conform to the timetable that THEY wanted. Yet Senator Clinton was the ONLY major candidate who DID NOT have her name removed from the Michigan ballot, thus creating an artificial "victory" for her in that state. She also bought considerable network television advertising during the week before the Florida primary, violating the agreement to avoid advertising in Florida, while other candidates played by the rules. The result was another artificial "victory" against no active opposition.
After the fact, Senator Clinton has realized that she has done so poorly elsewhere that seating the delegates from these two distorted "victories" is her only hope of closing the gap between her delegate count and that of Senator Obama.

werewolf,
I read your post and it was sarcasm right?
Just for fun, tell me how those awful neocons got Hillary Klinton's campaign to challenge the Texas rules. That would be a good trick.
There are no angels on either side of the aisle, duh. Obama may be an imposter but Hillary is the real deal. She is rotten to the core. No imposter there.
