AUSTIN, Texas 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.

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.

Another Democratic source who was privy to the often intense discussions confirmed that representatives of the New York senator's campaign had issued veiled threats in a telephone call this week.
"Officials from Senator Clinton's campaign at several times throughout the call raised the specter of 'challenging the process,' the official said. "The call consisted of representatives from both campaigns and the Democratic Party."
The source, who did not have authorization to speak about the matter on the record, said Clinton's political director, Guy Cecil, had pointedly raised the possibility of a courtroom battle.
Some Republicans say they will if you can believe that.
Demure femininity?
sleep with Bill??
Hillary ‘08
Changing the rules so you don’t have to.
Even if Hillary had the class to quit graciously, she can’t. She has surrounded herself with criminals that have donated money and time and they expect something in return. Most of these people have the ability to write multi-million dollar memoirs that would not only embarras the Clintons, but expose themto prosecution.
This will not go over well here on either side. Many of our Democrat cousins are as conservative as some of the country’s established Republicans. We don’t take kindly to strangers coming in, with lawyers and telling Texans how to change things. “Don’t mess with Texas”
It’s increasingly clear that the only way the Clintons’s ever “win” anything is to cheat.
I would venture to say it hasn't really started yet...and that's a good thing!
Stock up on popcorn...
“...she takes a left jab... now a left hook... and another... and another... another left jab... she’s bleeding from a cut over her right eye, now... she’s in big trouble, folks...”
In fact, why would the N.Y. Times endorse him for the Republican nomination if there were doubts if he could run?
Like Obama’s campaign said, they believe in keeping all their options open. If they don’t like the results of any election, they reserve the right to sue.
And a LOT of FReepers will vote for these scum in my state and texas,just to ‘keep the Clintons alive’. They don’t NEED any help. Stop them NOW. Before it’s too late.
I’ll say it once more:
Ain’t.
Gonna.
Happen.
If she still looked that good, she might have taken it. Her new hairdo really sucks, it just makes her look more dyke/masculine and older.
The Democrats will trot out an old tried and true Liberal—maybe a woman, maybe a Latino, maybe an old White Dude with lots of grey hair. How about as VP Richardson on New Mexico? Or maybe Edwards? They might even ask Hillary but I don’t think so. It will be a westerner I feel as they will not need someone from the south this time to win—Obama’s Oprah and his support in the black community works here.
