Odd Coincidence - Bill's Statement & Now RoboCalls

[TomBall Democrat]

Innocent until proven guilty.

Just pointing out that it is' mighty odd that earlier today:

"Right now, among all the primary states, believe it or not, Hillary's only 16 votes behind in pledged delegates," said Bill Clinton, "and she's gonna wind up with the lead in the popular vote in the primary states. She's gonna wind up with the lead in the delegates ."

"It's the caucuses that have been killing us," he added

And this afternoon:

Reports of phony phone calls to Democratic delegates
March 28, 2008 - 3:28PM
James Osborne
McALLEN - The Texas Democratic Party has received reports of unknown persons calling and e-mailing delegates to incorrectly inform them their county and senate district conventions have been cancelled, said party spokesman Hector Nieto.
Nieto said several delegates had reported incidents to party officials, but he did not know where in Texas they hailed from. He said party officials were investigating who's behind the misinformation campaign.

Must be a phone next to that kitchen sink!

1. among all the primary states, believe it or not, Hillary's only 16 votes behind in pledged delegates

Why does Bill want to disenfranchise the caucus states if his wife is running around the country saying dont disenfranchise Michigan and Florida?

:crazy:

3. please read the post

he's saying the caucuses are killing him/her.

And someone is calling delegates in Texas and telling them the caucus has been cancelled.

I smell a rat.

Logic doesn't seem to be in strong supply at the Clinton HQ. They're running on fear.

2. Only the 2 campaigns were give the secret lists

[TomBall Democrat]

4. My point exactly

and I know it's not Obama.

Because my Obama team asked me to call people to REMIND them to come.

5. It's definitely fishy. I doubt it's a coincidence though.

:grr:

6. Is there any wonder HRC's negatives are going up???????

9. IF this is an HRC campaign action,

it's beyond the pale.

But it should be able to be determined where these are originating from, shouldn't it? HRC may be totally innocent, regardless of how we've come to view her.

Is Obama's camp pursuing this?

EDIT -- is this illegal?

[TomBall Democrat]

11. Boyd Richie is pursuing it - and I wish him well in

finding the source.

Hell, no - it's election fraud.

and I hope it's Not HILLARY. I really do.

[gateley]

16. I really hope it's not her, too. Thanks for the response. nt

14. Here is some background - I don't know but it does look like it has some HRC backing....

20. I missed that..

thanks!

[KaptBunnyPants]

19. It's her. But good luck proving it in time.

7. SELF DELETE - dupe. nt

10. Supposedly only the 2 campaigns have the lists

- so unless a rabid supporter had access to the list - making said supporter on the campaign, but doing something unauthorized. Not the same as an independent person - but also not a campaign action.

The best thing would be for BOTH CAMPAIGNS to go to TV and radio in Texas to get the word out that the email is false, there are caucuses everywhere. The fact is that the calls can likely be traced - and that could be done after the fact. (Just like the phone jamming in NH in 2002) It shouldn't be hard to find the phone number that called that list of calls.

8. Do you enjoy starting rumors?

[Maddy McCall]

12. Bill Clinton ate my baby!

EEEeeeeeee!!!

[cali]

13. lame attempt, dear, to deflect.

There are only a limited number of suspects here, and though Clinton Camp may not be the guilty party, why should the "kitchen sink" campaign be ruled out?

[Maddy McCall]

15. That's the Obama supporter mantra...

"Expect the worst and hope for the worst."

:eyes:

[pinto]

17. (aside) The biggest recent phone call scam was Republican jamming in NH.

It's their forte, lest we forget. I'd look to the Republican party first, not a Dem, if there are tracks to this story.

[TomBall Democrat]

18. hard to explain how the GOP got the list - of an internal

party document, isn't it.

I hope it's not her.

but if not her, then someone inside the Texas Democratic Party leaked the list to the GOP.

Either way, it's not good. Best of all outcomes is that someone overzealous misbehaved.

It's not in Obama's interest to squash the caucus.

It benefits the GOP or Hillary. It's one of the two involved she had access - they didn't.
