Breaking: Texas Dems warn of Clinton lawsuit that could shut down caucuses!!!
Advertisements [?]
The Texas Democratic Party is warning that its March 4 caucuses could be delayed or disrupted after aides to White House hopeful Hillary Clinton raised the specter of an "imminent" lawsuit over its complicated delegate selection process, officials said Thursday night.

In a letter sent out late Thursday to both the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, Texas Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn warned that a lawsuit could ruin the Democrats' effort to re-energize voters just as they are turning out in record numbers.

Another Democratic source who was privy to the often intense discussions confirmed that representatives of the New York senator's campaign had issued veiled threats in a telephone call this week.

"Officials from Senator Clinton's campaign at several times throughout the call raised the specter of 'challenging the process,' the official said. "The call consisted of representatives from both campaigns and the Democratic Party."

This seems to be about an unnamed problem with the caucus rules. Both campaigns seem to be having a problem agreeing on the rules. Both campaigns have denied that they are suing.... but the Texas Democratic Party seems to think that a Clinton lawsuit is imminent. If true it reminds me of the Clinton supported lawsuit in Nevada. I don't like these last minute lawsuits before elections.
