Square Bricks

Square Bricks. Yep, that's what the Clintonistas are creating from the depths of their panic. The is no other way to explain the fact that they are suing the Texas Democratic Party (!) over the outcome of the primary/caucus system that took place in that state. The Dallas Morning news has that story here.

In a letter sent to the state Democratic Party late Friday, the Clinton campaign requests the March 29 count and state Senate district conventions be postponed until the eligibility of an estimated 1 million caucus-goers are double checked.

The Clinton campaign wrote they received more than 2,000 complaints of violations following the historic Texas turnout, which was perhaps the nation's largest caucus ever.

With about 41 percent of precinct caucuses reported, rival Barack Obama was ahead with 56 percent to Clinton's 44 percent.

"It is the Party's responsibility to ensure the integrity of the precinct convention process by making sure that the Rules were followed," the letter states.

The letter came after the Clinton campaign said party officials told them this week it would not verify the eligibility of all caucus-goers before March 29. The county and district caucuses will whittle down the delegates before the state convention in June, when the final delegate count for the Texas caucus will be known.

Texas Democratic Party spokesman Hector Nieto said Saturday the party has not yet had the opportunity to make any decisions on the Clinton campaign's request.

"We're not surprised Senator Clinton's campaign has engaged with their attorney, but right now the TDP remains extremely pleased by the record-breaking turnout," Nieto said.

Nieto said state party officials had not received a similar request from Obama's campaign. A message left to the Obama campaign Saturday was not immediately returned.

Suing your own party is something that outsiders and losers do. It's a Ralph Nader type of move. And the former First Lady and two-term senator ain't an outsider. "Somethings in the Air Tonight" and it's called "Panic!"

By the way, a close reading of the Constitution of United States reveals that there is no position called "First Lady", so any claim that Hillary makes regarding the wealth of experience she gained in that position should be considered with a long tonne of salt. That's sort of like me claiming I know how to practice law because my wife is an attorney. And the only bar I'd like to stand behind makes a mean Beefeater martini.
