Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) campaign charged rival Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) campaign with breaking several rules in the Texas caucuses.
The Clinton campaign called an “emergency” conference call with reporters that was interrupted by Obama’s chief counsel Bob Bauer, who called in and said the Clinton campaign only criticized the caucus process when it was losing.
With Clinton facing what many consider must-win scenarios in both Ohio and Texas and both races too-close-to-call, the Clinton campaign charged that the Obama campaign had shut the doors on Clinton supporters at some of the caucuses, among other things.
The campaign also said the Obama camp had hijacked some of the caucus packets at certain precincts, adding that in others Obama supporters were calling in caucus results before the polls had closed.
Ace Smith, Clinton’s Texas campaign director, said the state party’s election hotline was jammed, and the Clinton campaign was receiving “hundreds of complaints.”
“This is just truly outrageous behavior,” Smith said. “It’s really disturbing, and it’s really undemocratic what’s going on.”
Clinton’s attorney said on the call that “all options are open at this point” when asked about the possibility of seeking a legal remedy to the campaign’s concerns.
Bauer’s presence on the call came as a surprise as he and Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s communications director, went round and round. Wolfson repeatedly asked Bauer and the Obama campaign to ensure that all votes in Texas are counted as Bauer impugned the Clinton campaign’s “attacking the caucus process.”
LOL! Great gif.
I fart in your general direction !
"My pile's the biggest."
"No, mine is."
"Wait, I'll show you."
"You just look for yourself. I have the largest."
They're both carbuncles on the backside of America.

Hildabeasts’ history is crying foul, decrying a fiction on the part of her opponent, all the while engaging in the nefarious actions herself. This is the sine-quinon of all of her husbands, and her campaigns. These people are despicable. She will slip up on obama and perform a perfect ‘commando incision’ on him, all the while saying how it has been an honor running against him. What a bitch.
Fineman says she’s essentially tied with Obama, after all this. But there’s no joy in the party.
In fact, Obama is slightly ahead in delegates and votes. If she can’t take that away from him, he isn’t going to hand it to her!
Yet here’s Rendell saying Obama is a great candidate BUT. She will be stronger in the general and not far behind Obama going into the convention, so the super delegates would have to get her through.
But, but, but...I thought only Republicans were capable of voter fraud and suppression. This just can’t be!
I have hear this crap from disgusted Democrat college friends over the past 8 weeks: intimidation and cheating by ObamaNazis at every caucus. Blacks browbeat whites, counts are handed in early, folks are ignored, dirty trick abound. They tell me they will vote for Nader or McCain if Obama wins the nomination.
Wolfson vs. Baur steel cage match-—.
Man, that body language says it all. LOL
Fast Eddie is a Clintanoid. So watch for mega-fraud in PA.
Someone did this a few years ago on FR - I don’t recall the candidate, or who called in. Many of us were listening in and there was even a thread - one of FRs FUNNIEST Moments !!! Who made that call ???
Don't forget about Ohio - she's kicking butt here. I wonder how much of it is due to Republicans who switched parties to vote for her?
This is going to a brokered convention, and the rats are going to have a civil war!
"My panties are in a bunch", "so are mine"
There are no rules in a knife fight!
I give the obamans credit for playing tough against the clinton gang...tougher than any repubs have.
Hell, most everything the RATS do is undemoncratic. What's so unusual about this?
