It never ceases to amaze me, the lengths the Clinton campaign will go to in trying to wrest the nomination back from Barack Obama. McClatchy news is reporting that the Texas Democratic party is warning that Camp Clinton has threatened possible legal action following next Tuesday's primary (regarding the complicated delegate selection system). They must be fearing another defeat.
Not many outside of Texas politics understand its complex primary/caucus delegate system. Surely the Hillaroids are betting that they can confuse the issue enough to appear legit to alot of people. Who knows how many delegates they can claw out of it.
I had hoped (as no fan of Hillary), that she would go the Al Gore route and gracefully concede defeat if she loses Texas and/or Ohio. It's becoming increasingly clear, though, she's not going down like that.
That's unfortunate. She could win the respect and admiration of a lot of people; and more than a senatorial future, if she put the Democratic party, and America before her own ambition.
That kind of honor and loyalty, however, is precisely what is missing from both Hillary and Bill Clinton. And that is, in the end, why she will lose the nomination to Obama.
She would rather go to war within her own party, at this most crucial time in our nation's history, to put her personal interests before the will of the electorate. It's Karl Rove and George W. Bush all over again (Florida 2000).
And Clinton claims to be a Democrat.
I hope the people of Texas (and Ohio) go out and vote in massively historic numbers (as the trend has gone elsewhere). And I hope they zealously guard the integrity of the votes they've cast. I hope, as in South Carolina's case,Lonestar voters refuse to put up with any Clintonian chicanery. The good of this nation depends on it.
