Chuck Todd just reported on MSNBC that Clinton aides are threatening to sue Texas over their delegate selection process. Basically Clinton is scared of winning the primary, but loosing the caucus they run.
This is a sign of serious desperation on the part of Clinton. It also echoes the desperation shown by her Michigan and Florida claims. Changing the rules just because she is down? She could end up distancing enough Democrats from her that if she did somehow manage to get the nomination, people won’t bother to vote for her in the general. Is this what she wants for the country?
UPDATE
The Houston Chronicle is also reporting on it:
The Texas Democratic Party warned Thursday that election night caucuses scheduled for Tuesday could be delayed or disrupted after aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to sue over the party’s complicated delegate selection process.
In a letter sent out late Thursday to both the Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, Texas Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn warned a lawsuit could ruin the Democrats’ effort to re-energize voters just as they are turning out in record numbers.
State parties have had their delegate selection plans turned in for over a year. Now that the going gets tough she wants to sue? This is getting ridiculous.
