Obama Tries to Poach Clinton's Texas Caucus Delegates

By wt

Change you can xerox?

Bad news for all you Obamaniacs who reacted with righteous indignation when I reported on March 14 that Iowa county delegates pledged to your candidate were receiving robocalls from the Clinton campaign in the run-up to the coming county conventions (when such delegates can switch their allegiances):

Team Obama is doing pretty much the same thing.

The article describes the process of both campaigns' efforts to flip pledged delegates prior to the state conventions in Iowa and Texas, respectively.

Now, I'm not sure there's anything wrong with this. But it does sort of preclude the Obama camp from getting angry when the Clinton campaign suggest that pledged delegates aren't really pledged. And that goes for statewide AND National Convention delegates.
