~~DING!
Go Hillary! Get those signatures!!
It would be useful to have the Report of the Rules and Bylaws Committee now. It was scheduled to be adopted yesterday as the first order of business at the convention.
Thanks. I’ve got about 30 minutes.
didn’t Hillary! just pick up a bunch of delegates when the convention opened and they decided to seat ALL the Michigan and FLorida delegates?
holy sh*t.
Many Tennessee delegates will give their vote to Hillary. She won this state and they agree and feel obligated.
They quashed the applause at the end. This is not over ...
My first convention to watch all the way through was Ford/Reagan in 1976. It seems to be a bit of that model. Albeit 180 out of phase.

Excerpt:
Kathleen Krehbiel, Clinton's Iowa vote-counter, said she made up her mind to switch to Obama after Clinton declared herself an Obama supporter in a speech Tuesday night. Krehbiel said she believed most Clinton loyalists also were coming around, even if some holdouts needed the "closure" of voting for her.
"I did not want to see a floor fight," she said. "I don't see any further reason to continue to carry out a pretense that she's a candidate. She's not."
Not all Clinton supporters were on board. Sonja Jaquez Lewis, a Clinton delegate from Colorado, said she and others may walk out if Clinton is denied a roll call.
"If we don't have an official roll call vote, state-by-state, it is going to reopen a wound," said Lewis, adding that she would do whatever Clinton asks of her delegates.
DENVER, (AP) -- Less than an hour before the Democratic convention calls the roll of the states, Hillary Rodham Clinton began an emotional gathering with her delegates Wednesday by telling them she was releasing them as delegates to vote for Barack Obama. Many in the crowded ballroom yelled back "No!"Clinton told her delegates she's not telling them what to do, adding: "You've come here from so many different places, having made this journey and feeling in your heart what is right for you to do."
