Texas Dems are worried that Obama may sue to halt the Texas primary. The following was sent out to his campaign.
"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."
Dunn is the Texas Democratic Party legal counsel. I say shame on anyone who would pull a stunt like that.
Now here's the rest of the story: As reported in the Star-Telegram, the letter was sent to both candidates. The paper used unnamed sources for their story. The sources attributed the threat as having come from the Clinton camp. Many have jumped on this story in the bloggoshpere as have local news outlets. I have a problem with the fact that, without proof and at the eleventh hour, such a story would come out.
Both campaigns may have intimated that they would do such a thing but, it is Clinton's campaign that is being tagged with the story. This is unfair and really has no place during the primary as it is divisive. If indeed one of the campaigns does follow through with such a threat then that becomes another story all together. I would hope that the Obama supporters with blogs would give the whole story rather than cherry pick information from the story so as to put Senator Clinton in a bad light.
It is these kinds of low road, spineless politics that I detest. It may be the deciding factor as to who I plan to vote for and caucus for. I guess it's time for the adults to take over.
