 'Chaos' threatens DNC delegate solution
Obama camp hits protest plans of Clinton backersBy: Christina Bellatoni -Washington Times - Sen. Barack Obama's campaign yesterday suggested that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters are aiming to "create chaos" instead of bridging party divides during the upcoming Democratic National Committee hearing on the Michigan and Florida mess. Thousands of Clinton supporters are expected to flood Washington this weekend with the rallying cry to the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee: "Count our votes." The Obama campaign, meanwhile, has urged its supporters to avoid protests in the spirit of party unity as the nomination process "comes to a close."

Obama camp hits protest plans of Clinton backersBy: Christina Bellatoni -Washington Times - Sen. Barack Obama's campaign yesterday suggested that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters are aiming to "create chaos" instead of bridging party divides during the upcoming Democratic National Committee hearing on the Michigan and Florida mess. Thousands of Clinton supporters are expected to flood Washington this weekend with the rallying cry to the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee: "Count our votes." The Obama campaign, meanwhile, has urged its supporters to avoid protests in the spirit of party unity as the nomination process "comes to a close." Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said his boss is being charitable by compromising for some seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations even though those states broke party rules by holding their primaries too early. "We don't think it's a helpful dynamic to create chaos," Mr. Plouffe told reporters in advance of Saturday's daylong hearing to resolve the disputed contests. He characterized the planned protests as "a scene" and "a spectacle" while Obama supporter David Wilhelm, who ran Bill Clinton's campaign in 1992, said the protesters risk turning "this thing into a circus." Mr. Plouffe argued that the campaign has considerable support in the Mid-Atlantic region - Mr. Obama swept the Feb. 12 primaries in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia - and said with the simple "click of a mouse" the campaign could generate "tens of thousands of people" to rally for the Obama cause. Clinton aides said the campaign is not organizing the protests but dozens of blogs friendly to the former first lady are encouraging supporters to show up at the hearing. Mrs. Clinton also has been pushing petitions to count the Florida and Michigan votes.
