News this morning that Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign is challenging the delegate selection rules in Texas marks the fourth time during the campaign that they have done this. The other states that have been disputed: Nevada, Michigan and Florida.
There is little argument that some of the rules governing the Democratic primaries and caucuses make little sense. But they have been in place for months now. Last minute objections look petty. Doesn't Clinton risk more politically in challenging the rules than just accepting them and trying to win?
Ben Smith sums it up nicely: "Moments like this always have two sides: The substantive, legal one;
and the political side. And whatever the substance, you can be sure the
reported litigation threat will be an Obama talking point in the run-up
to the election."
