Hillary To Be Entered Into Nomination At Convention

Now imagine this............ Hillary walking onto the stage at the convention with the music from Jaws playing in the background.

Hillary To Be Entered Into Nomination At Convention
Sources within Hillary Clinton’s campaign say the New York Senator’s name is likely to be placed in nomination in Denver — at the insistence of the Obama campaign.
Clinton had originally said she would NOT sign a document allowing a vote to be held on her nomination; aides thought it could be divisive, and worried that it could make her seem weak, since many of her nearly 1900 delegates would almost certainly not vote for her almost 3 months after she formally conceded.
But in listening to her staunch supporters — those who are still bitter over the way she lost, and are having a hard time getting behind Obama — the Clinton campaign became convinced that entering her name into nomination at the convention was the best way to give Clinton backers the “catharsis” she said was necessary to move forward.
Turns out, the Obama campaign agreed. They’d independently decided that the move wins friends and costs little.
That being decided, all that remains are the details– as well as the decision on whether to actually press ahead with a roll call vote. As Marc Ambinder notes, Clinton could use the occasion of her nomination at the convention to formally release all of her delegates to Obama, instead of calling the roll and finishing well behind what her delegate count would suggest.
UPDATE: The two campaigns released a joint statement officially confirming the news on the record, saying Senator Obamas campaign encouraged Senator Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nations primary contests.
Obama says “” 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.”

Creep Dick Morris on Hannity and Colmes about the Clinton's taking over the Democrat convention LOL
He was talking about the DNC Convention and how the Clinton's are taking it over. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea have all been given speaking roles. In addition.. Hillary has hired a video production team to make a movie about her candidacy.

Wild Thing's comment...........
Making sure we have popcorn in the house heh heh this is going to be just sooooo much fun. Let the games begin!
Just a thought about all of this besides it will be fun to watch all this happening.
I don't believe for one minute that the Obama camp "agreed" to this scenario so much as accepted the fact that under DNC rules, this is within Hitlery's right to demand, including a full roll call vote.
Hillary pushed this hard and intended to from the very moment she "suspended her campaign" (she did NOT concede) and the best Obama's campaign can manage here is to put on a public face and appearances so this looks like a "unity" thing.
The focus on and stories about Obama's past, and his continued stupid statements and obvious prejudicial feelings, questions about place of birth, actual name, his ridiculous ideas and solutions, etc. people will eventually (have begun to) lose interest in this bumbler. Hillary is the BEAST and dangerous too. I just wonder if there are Dems besides the ones that have been for Hillary, the ones that were soooo much for Obama are seeing he is a huge problem especially with his birth certificate stuff waiting in the wings with some serious researchers out there not giving up.
It just makes it very interesting and scary too, scary for our country to even have people like this in our country. Marxists, communists, military loathers and American haters wanting to rule and I do mean rule and turn our Nation into some weak third world country.
It appears he’s turned the entire convention over to the Clinton’s. Either the Clinton’s have something on him.. or Obama is a terrible negotiator.The Clinton’s are ruthless. Obama folded with a winning hand showing on the table. There had to be a joker up somebody’s sleeve. I wonder if the items being speculated about that I mentioned might be making him nervous.
It isn't over till it’s over. And this is one wild turkey chase.

Birds of a feather flock together, like crows, their vocalizations are complex and poorly understood. Just whine and whine loud and long and the donks will accommodate even the most perfidious amongst themselves. Now that Obama has demonstrated to the world and the nation by his flip flopping that he has no spine and will let anyone speak at the convention just to kiss up to the Clinton followers who clearly lost the primary. Will other honored guest speakers get equal time and press coverage at Denver? Will Hamas and Hezbollah release Jimmy Carter in time for the Convention? How about Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dorhn delivering the opening address with a benediction from the retired Reverand Wright, followed by a full reading of the Manefesto and a reaffirmation of their faith. Barney Frank can lisp the Simon And Garfunkel lyrics 'Slip Sliding Away' instead of the national anthem. It's a big family and it does have it's values.

I just don't think Hillary is out of the race. If she was really into "unity", she would have conceded rather than suspended her candidacy. She would have graciously announced to the public that she was definitely out of running and 100% behind Obama.
The way Clinton is running now is by letting Obama self destruct. This costs her no campaign funds. She can the go to Denver and lay her claims of receiving more of the popular vote and being a better rival against McCain.
(The)Clinton(s) are too ambitious to give up. Or, she is already running for 2012.

Yeah Tom, I don't believe Hillary is out of this thing. Cheryl mentioned the murder of the Dem party in Arkansas, there also was something else that has happened too, although I can't remember it.
Now it is a 3 day event about the Clintons, then Obama get the nomination ? Even Chelsea gets a speaking part ?
Hillary has never fully supported obama, I don't think anyway. They, the evil twins, have been abnormally silent the past couple months. This has got to be the ultimate power struggle of the past 50 years.
She is not going to get the nomination, yet she will be allowed to have her name entered as if she had a chance.
None of this makes any sense, unless the Clintons are going to pull something... have brokered something already and it will all come together at the convention.
In 2004 the convention was all about Kerry, in 2000 it was all about the 'heir apparent' Algore.
Should be interesting to watch.

Beware of Clintons offering praise and support.

Cheryl, yes Hillary cannot be trusted and her word means nothing. Well unless it is her word that she is out to get you.

Tom, yes your so right, she had no intention of really giving up.
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 15, 2008 04:41 PM
Mark, yes,I don't think she will get the nomination either.
There will be a lot of protesters at this thing mostly outside is my guess and then the people inside yelling too about Obama and or Hillary. LOL Maybe it is a good thing there will be no fried food, it would be earier to throw. haha
