(We are hearing this from afar and we are trying to both wrap our minds around what the Clinton campaign is doing and what this means for the unprecedented surge of new delegates and voters. We will absolutely be writing more as we find out the details. The Texas Observer has this to add. - promoted by Matt Glazer)
Gonna do this one drive-by style and let the Dallas Morning News article speak for itself. I hadn't seen an article up about it yet on BOR so here goes:
Hillary Clinton and her lawyers are trying to cast doubt on the precinct conventions.
Hillary Clinton and her lawyers are trying to deligitimize the concept of the convention itself.
Hillary Clinton and her lawyers are trying to drag out the delegate selection process for their benefit.
And ultimately, Hillary Clinton and her lawyers are probably trying to null and void as much of the convention/caucus aspect of Texas' delegate selection process as possible.
As final results from the Texas Democratic caucus remain unknown, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign wants signatures from the March 4 contest verified before party conventions are held around the state later this month.
In a letter sent to the state Democratic Party late Friday, the Clinton campaign requests the March 29 count and state Senate district conventions be postponed until the eligibility of an estimated 1 million caucus-goers are double checked."
Disgusting.

If you got the e-mail "How to win your Precinct Caucus today with a link to a DFT's "handy guide", I hope you were as upset as I was.
There are some fundamental statements in this document that totally WRONG. I hope no one shows up with this document in hand and expects to take over a precinct convention as this "handy" piece of paper implies.
