In what appears to be another attempt to steal this election at any cost, Sen. Hillary Clinton and her campaign are now challenging some delegates seated in Texas for Barack Obama.
According the Daily Kos, the Clinton campaign filed the necessary paperwork just before the Wednesday deadline and are now challenging delegates, after they made a pledge not to challenge any contests in the state.
Apparently, there is question over whether Mrs. Clinton will reach the 15% threshold in the particular districts that she is challenging, in order to receive her slice of the delegates.
Obama spokesperson, Josh Earnest, had the following comment:
“Apparently the promise that the Clinton campaign made less than 24 hours ago not to challenge the seating of delegates at Saturday’s district conventions was just another made-up story,” Earnest said. “The Clinton campaign’s politically-motivated outrage over disenfranchising voters apparently doesn’t extend to the 1.1 million Texans who participated in the precinct conventions earlier this month.”
This story just adds to my complete demise for Sen. Hillary Clinton. If she cannot win the nomination fairly, she needs to drop out and take it with a little dignity at least. Apart from the fact that she is making herself look foolish, she is making the party look foolish by dragging on a totally lost cause.
