Lawsuit time...
What is Hillary’s goal? I know she still wants the nomination, or maybe Veep, but what exactly can she hope to gain by all of this? Even if she got all the delegates based on the sham elections in those states ,she would still not have enough to change the outcome of the nomination. Is she taking Rush’s Operation Chaos to heart, and thinking if she stirs things up, anything can happen?????

Obama: Illegitimate Nominee?

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let’s go back to the Democrat Party nomination process here, shall we, ladies and gentlemen? As I said back on May 7th, it has become clear to me (and I think to all the Democrats, too) that the only way Obama can sail to victory here is by not counting votes, specifically the votes of Michigan and Florida. Now, what does that say, that the Democrat Party’s nominee was only able to capture the prize because votes in two states were not counted? Now, after having listened to Mrs. Clinton from yesterday in Boca Raton, Florida, I have to agree with her. If Barack Obama becomes the Democrat nominee, and if he becomes the nominee without counting the vote in Florida and Michigan, I have to agree with Hillary that Obama’s nomination will then be illegitimate. If Obama becomes the Democrat nominee by virtue of fixing the vote — by refusing to accept the votes of the Democrats in Florida, by refusing to accept the votes of the Democrats in Michigan — then Obama is an illegitimate nominee for president.
[]Barack Obama: On the verge of becoming the illegitimate nominee of the Democrat Party. This is what they said after Florida 2000. Bush was an illegitimate president. Back then, by the way — people forget this — Algore, who has established the precedent now of litigating election results... As I suggested yesterday, by the way, to Mrs. Clinton: Do what the Democrat Party is known for: Sue! Litigate. If you don’t get what you want after Florida and Michigan, litigate. You can use the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution equal-protection clause — and in your case, Mrs. Clinton, you’ll be asking that all votes be counted. Algore, in the Florida aftermath of 2000, was not asking for all votes to be recounted. He only wanted the votes recounted in three counties, all Democrat counties: Miami-Dade, Broward, and of course (our very own, home of the hanging chads) Palm Beach County.
Mrs. Clinton could go Algore one better. If necessary, litigate under the Fourteenth Amendment, equal-protection clause, count all the votes. And, Mrs. Clinton, you need to get your spokesman out there and you need to start using the words “illegitimate nominee.” You might not want to make that direct attack. You might want to say, “The party will have produced an illegitimate result.” Blame it on Dean; throw it back to the party. Speak as a proud Democrat — and you, as a proud Democrat, having served in the White House for two terms (blah, blah, blah) you don’t want the party to be accused or even, in reality, be a party of illegitimacy by virtue of not having counted all the votes. Yeah, I know. The rules were the rules for Florida and Michigan. “The Democrat Party has no rules,” you tell ‘em. “The Democrat Party has customs, and among them: Every vote counts.”
RUSH: Look, it’s real simple. Obama is cruising to becoming an illegitimate nominee of the Democrat Party, because every vote will not have been counted. Hillary’s right. He would be the illegitimate nominee. I mean, look, this is the same party, ladies and gentlemen, that complains about voter IDs. I mean what a joke. Voter IDs, now they’re disenfranchising millions of voters, minority voters especially, because the state parties didn’t bow to the DNC and Howard “George Wallace” Dean. How can they nominate anybody if the guy can only win by having votes not count? I mean, that would not only taint Obama as illegitimate, it would destroy their entire ability to go back and use Florida 2000 as an attack against Republicans. You Democrats cannot afford to give that up. You gotta be able to use Florida 2000 for the rest of our political lives. If you don’t do this, if you allow votes to not be counted, if you purposely reject votes from Florida and Michigan, then you can never with credibility use Florida 2000 and talk about how votes didn’t count, Supreme Court chose the president, Bush was illegitimate ‘cause you are on the way to nominating Barack Obama as an illegitimate nominee for the presidency of the United States from your party. It is something else for you superdelegates to put in the hopper and think about. ...” Listen To It! [] Audio clips available for Rush 24/7 members only — Join Now!

CNN: Florida court throws out DNC suit 10:45 AM ET
Lawsuit and demonstration time. When I was a kid, national conventions always had delegates marching and shouting in the aisles. This year should be a duzy. A night of long cat claws.
