Old Democrat, two questions:

1. Would the Clinton camp have caused the complaint to be filed if the people who will be voting at the Strip casino caucuses, members of the Culinary Workers Union, had endorsed her?

I'll answer that one, obviously not. You can answer this next question, although I think you already have, with all of your effusive praise for how well written and skillfully argued the complaint is:

2. Do you think the complaint was written in 48 hours (the time between the Culinary endorsement and the filing of the complaint)?

The ramifications of a "no" to the second question are pretty scary. It means the Clinton camp had the complaint drawn up in advance, put it in a drawer, and only decided to file it once they lost the endorsement. How's that for revering the Constitution?

The Clintons play politics on a level that Karl Rove can only dream of in his wildest fantasies. That's why he wrote the letter to the Financial Times advising Obama on how to beat her. He fears the Clintons, and that is saying something, and it is not something good.

It comes as no surprise to me that NBC, a subsidiary of top 10 defense contractor General Electric, would go to such great lengths to exclude another vocal opponent of the Iraq war from the debate. MSNBC did the same thing to Gravel at their earliest opportunity, back in the fall at Philadelphia. Kucinich and Gravel in past debates were apt to discuss the Iraq war when they were asked questions on other topics. It is a shame that a conglomerate with such a huge conflict of interest should be allowed to dictate the terms and participants of the discussion.
