Obama Lawyer Surprises Clintons in Their Media Conference Call

Clintons caught in middle of "managing" the media.
On a conference call with the media tonight, the Clinton campaign was attempting to discredit the Texas Caucus results.
They accused Obama aides of irregularities in the Texas Caucus.
To their surprise - Obama attorney Bob Bauer was listening in on that call this evening and challenged the Clinton campaign. Remember, the Clintons had already threatened the Texas Democratic Party with a lawsuit before the election.

Obama's top lawyer challenges Clinton aides' claims of irregularities in Texas precincts

Barack Obama's top lawyer, Bob Bauer, made an unexpected appearance on the Clinton campaign's conference call this evening, calling in on a line intended for reporters to challenge Clinton aides' claims of irregularities in several Texas precincts.

Bauer used his guerrilla appearance to call on Clinton's aides to "stop attacking the caucus process."

Caucus Problems In Texas

04 Mar 2008 08:28 pm

The Clinton campaign said tonight that Obama precinct workers illegally obtained caucus packets in the following Texas caucus precincts:

Precinct 2316 in Tarrant County
Precinct 1205 in Dallas County
Precinct 3127 in Bexar County
Precinct 3082 in Ft. Bend County
Precinct 18/224 in Harris County (Houston)
Precinct 3221 Dallas county
Precinct 87 in El Paso County
Precinct 458 in Travis County

Basically, whoever "gets the packet" controls the caucus. Technically, before the caucus begins at 7:15 CT, the packet is controlled by the precinct judge. But in reality, it might just be laying on a table somewhere. The Clinton campaign claims to have evidence that Obama supporters have, in eight instances, obtained in far in advance, which violates the rules set out by the state party.

Politico KNEW on March 1 the Clinton campaign was trying to take total control of the caucus packets

Texas caucus hardball
March 01, 2008

The Dallas Morning News gets hold of Clinton caucus "training materials," in which supporters are instructed to fight for procedural control of caucuses.The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."
It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.

"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."
Some of the moments on the ground in Nevada showed how crucial technical control can be, particularly when -- there, as expected in Texas -- nobody has any idea what the rules are. Really makes you love the caucus process.

No secret that the Clintons have been trying to discredit the caucus process from day one.

Rules - they don't like them. Smears - they never saw one they didn't love.
