From the Dallas-Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
The Texas Democratic Party is warning that its primary night 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.

It's actually getting painful at this point. I've preferred Obama pretty much from the start, but it's only been the last couple weeks that I've been feeling so negative about Clinton, and I don't WANT to feel so negative about her. But everything she's been doing lately has been coming across as increasingly cranky and desperate, and it's really bothering me. As recently as three weeks ago, I sincerely was saying that I'd be happy to vote for whichever candidate was the nominee, but now I'm really just starting to wish Clinton would withdraw with some of her dignity intact. She's better than this crap.
Amen Stewart! The last debate I saw she was bulldozing over everyone, even the moderator. I have been a debater since high school and know how to respect my oppenent. That is the kind of thing that gets a different point across, one in favor of Obama. She is better than that and needs to relax a little, it is nerve wracking but she is pushing voters away. A lawsuit in the middle of the race is not going to improve her status amoung voters.
Everything Hillary does only reveals and confirms all the more how she (and Bill) want the White House just to have the White House. She is running for her,(or 'them', as it were) whereas Obama, at least appears to be running for something more than just himself.
Well, folks, I'm not a Dem so it really doesn't matter much to me, but there seems to be something unfair in the Texas Democratic Primary -- especially the disenfranchising of Hispanic voters because of low turn out in the last congressional race. That and the whole formula for super delegates strikes me as very odd and, dare I say, un-democratic.
