Barack Obama's presidential campaign said Friday that Hillary Clinton, fearing a defeat in Texas, is trying to undermine confidence in the voting process by raising the specter of a chaotic and legally questionable election on Tuesday.Clinton aides shot back that Obama was "fanning the distortion" of their legitimate concerns about the state's two-step voting process, which entails both a primary election and a little understood caucus or "precinct convention."

The notion of a Clinton challenge to the caucus procedures came up during conferences calls among the campaigns and the Texas Democratic Party, officials said. Concerned that a lawsuit was in the works, Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn fired off a letter to both campaigns.
"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 wrote in the letter obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated Democratic process." Party officials told the Star-Telegram that the threats were coming from the Clinton campaign.
Which they are now denying.
You may recall going into the Texas campaign, Ms. Clinton commented about the rules, saying they were bizarre and that the Clinton campaign had “grown men crying over it.” That was our hint that they would be crying “foul” over it.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
