Clinton Suicide Watch

Hillary Clinton is about to meet her Alamo in Texas on Tuesday. She’s pulling out the stops to try to win, including doing something that is bound to get Obama elected instead of her. She’s threatening to sue the Texas Democrat party.

The Texas Democratic Party is warning that its March 4 caucuses could be delayed or disrupted after aides to White House hopeful Hillary Clinton raised the specter of an “imminent” lawsuit over its complicated delegate selection process, officials said Thursday night.

In a letter sent out late Thursday to both the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, Texas Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn warned that a lawsuit could ruin the Democrats’ effort to re-energize voters just as they are turning out in record numbers.

Spokesmen from both campaigns maintained there were no plans to sue before the March 4 election.

“It has been brought to my attention that one or both of your campaigns may already be planning or intending to pursue litigation against the Texas Democratic Party,” Dunn said in the letter, obtained by the Star-Telegram. “Such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated Democratic process.”

She’s already threatened to try to force the party to give her the delegates from Michigan and Florida, even though the party disqualified those states. If she were to get them by some chance, or try to get the super delegates despite Obama winning the popular vote, it will tear the Democrats apart. It’ll destroy what’s left of the Clinton’s reputation with the few people who don’t already hold them in contempt.

But apparently, Hillary doesn’t care. She wants power at all costs. Dick Morris, who worked with the Clintons for 20 years, says we’re seeing her true face in these moments.

How much do you want to bet he won’t give up after Tuesday despite losing either Texas or Ohio? It’s very possible she’ll lose both. But she needs to win both by large percentages and the polls show that’s not likely to happen.

There have been increasing calls for her to concede. More will come next week if she fails to do so.

Watching the Clintons fail is the ultimate schadenfreude, but you have to wonder what new tricks they will think up before their goal to regain the White House is finally lost.

UPDATE: Apparently, she has a campaign strategy if she does lose those states. She probably will sue Obama if she keps losing. She’s a worse loser than Al Gore.
