And the desperation continues…

From McClatchy Newspapers:

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.

Spokesmen from both campaigns maintained there were no plans to sue before the March 4 election.

"It has been brought to my attention that one or both of your campaigns may already be planning or intending to pursue litigation against the Texas Democratic Party," Dunn said in the letter, obtained by the Star-Telegram. "Such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated Democratic process."

Democratic sources said representatives from each campaign had made it clear they are keeping all their options open but that the Clinton campaign in particular had warned of an impending lawsuit.

Ok; the caucus system in Texas is probably inane, but consider that almost every other part of the Democrat’s nomination process – super-delegates, delegate apportioning, the Iowa/New Hampshire stranglehold – are inane as well. Having said that, you don’t make changes to a process while knee-deep in the middle of the process…

That IS as inane as the process itself.

Rather than trying to change the way it’s done… rather than have strategists trying to throw one another under the bus… perhaps Ms. Clinton should accept that her campaign has stalled and she now should do what she can to ensure that the Democratic party she supposedly has pledged her allegiance to wins in November…

It’s just a thought…
