Hillary’s Name Will Be Placed in Nomination
[Guest post by DRJ]
Marc Ambinder reports that, for the sake of Party Unity, the Obama and Clinton campaigns jointly announced that Hillary Clinton’s name will be placed in nomination at the Democratic Convention.
According to Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, Hillary will cast her superdelegate vote for Obama:
“The move is entirely symbolic; Clinton herself will cast her superdelegate vote for Obama, a source close to Clinton said. The deal was reached as a result of talks between Obama campaign manager David Plouffe and Clinton senior advisor Cheryl Mills.
Initially, said the source, who was close to the discussions, Clinton was not keen on having her name offered at the convention. But the Obama team independently thought that was a way to respect her more than 1,800 delegates.
In a joint statement, Obama said “I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion.”
I don’t think Hillary can pull this out but symbolic votes can muddy the water just as much as real votes.

One of the biggest lies I’ve seen in a long time.
daleyrocks (d9ec17) — 8/14/2008 @ 4:54 pmThe Obambi camp thinks that the masters of the October Suprise won’t have her stand up and say “I’m sorry. I can’t do it. He doesn’t have the experience. He doesn’t have the chops. I’m voting for myself!”
I live in Denver. These idiots and Surrender Monkeys are going to burn downtown to the ground.
The only good thing about that is that that is in That B@#$^H Diana DeGette’s district and maybe the moderates will think twice about siding with the liberal wackadoo’s and re-electing her!

I’ll believe it when – and if – it happens.
Dana (254946) — 8/14/2008 @ 5:24 pmObama has the judgment to be President?
Perfect Sense (9d1b08) — 8/14/2008 @ 5:37 pmHe just made the first 3 days of his convention all about Bill and Hillary.
That’s a helluva gamble — defuse the conflict by deigning to share a portion of the spotlight, thereby giving your opponent a platform. Wasn’t it the patronizing attitude, or the perception of such, that led to this situation in the first place?

I feel your pain and empathize with the good citizens of Denver. Still, a repeat of ’68 would make good political theatre and perhaps show rest of America what some far left morons are capable of (I did say FAR left).
And I rue the time I did visit Denver ages ago to propose marriage. Unfortunately she said yes.
There is a big difference between how Denver reacted to nasty ass weather woes and how the welfare dependent denizens and criminal elements of NOLA reacted.
madmax333 (0c6cfc) — 8/14/2008 @ 6:56 pmHas anybody heard a rumor that Clinton loyalists working as sound technicians at the convention center have replaced all recordings of our National Anthem with recordings of the Kenyan national anthem?
nk (e69fdd) — 8/14/2008 @ 8:11 pm“Um, Senator Obama? Some squid-looking guy has something to tell you.”

HRC [walks in with big serving plate]: “Calamari, anyone?”
M. Scott Eiland (a16843) — 8/14/2008 @ 9:30 pm#8 – Well, they will be in Denver, where that woman sang the “Black National Anthem”. So, anything goes! Someone cue the calliope.
Icy Truth (9e8038) — 8/14/2008 @ 10:07 pmI think that Obama (or whatever his real name is) is going to have to do some explaining and cough up that valid Birth Certificate he got while on Vacation. He is also going to have to explain why he lied that he had never ever gone by any other name on offical documents.
The Hilldabeast just might be using this time bfore the convention to write her acceptance speech.

Here’s a link to Texas Darlin suggested by Papa Ray, and here’s a link to a response by Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee posted at Pajamas Media.
DRJ (a5243f) — 8/14/2008 @ 11:20 pmDRJ – Larry “Whitey Tape” Johnson of NoQuarter and Plamegate fame has also promoted a brisk traffic in these Obama conspiracies. A.J. Strata has been all over the fake birth certificate BS. Unfortunately they keep blaming this stuff on the right instead of the Clintonites where it actually originates.
