I noticed this in GDP, and since a lot of Texas DUers don't venture over there very often I thought I would cross post.
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."
Democrats have described the enthusiasm in Texas, as evidenced by the record turnout among early voters in the most populous counties, as a sign that the party is undergoing a revival after years of decline under virtually unchallenged Republican rule.
Dunn, the Democratic Party lawyer, said it could all be for naught if the Texas nomination battle winds up in a courtroom.
"If it is true that litigation is imminent between one or both of your campaigns and the (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," he wrote.

Why would either campaign sue the TDP denying us our RIGHT to vote for our candidate, through the delegate process?.?.?
How can either one sue our TDP, when they don't know who will win the most delegates?.?.?
How does this help the Democratic Party as a whole?.?.?
Most importantly what can WE the Texas Democrats do about it, to nip this in the bud?.?.?I have never seen the primaries that got so many people involved in the process. For once in a very long long time Texas voters are ready to participate in that process.
If either candidate sues the TDP, why would we EVER get involved in the process ever again.
I'd have to say someone is ready to bite their nose off to spite their face:shrug:
Can some of my loyal Texas DUers help me understand?.?.?
