Hillary Clinton supporters will get their chance for catharsis at the Democratic National Convention in Denver as the New York senators name will be included in the nomination.
A joint statement issued Thursday by Clinton and Barack Obama said Clinton will be included because they want to ensure that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver.
I am convinced that honoring Senator Clintons 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, Obama said.
In recent weeks, the Obama and Clinton campaigns have been negotiating whether to allow the losing presidential candidates name in the roll call vote. Sources from both campaigns told FOX News that the negotiations have been friendly and tension-free despite reports of past conflict between the two campaigns during the heated primary season.
The statement by Obama and Clinton said including her name on the nomination ballot will be a show of unity and a recognition that she is the first woman to compete in all of our nations primary contests.

Catharsis? I’m thinking enema will get rid of more of what the Dems need to be rid of.
This is my theory....
Hillary fought a hard campaign.
Given Michigan, Florida giving delegates to Obama who was a no-show and she campaigned in both she can accurately say she won the majority of the vote of the electorate.
Now, coupled with the corrputed votes of Edwards, knowing he was not viable, then upon his (now we know) forced exit from the race he directs nonadulterers to vote for Obama. Now that they know Obama is Edwards man, they would not have the same view as the eyeball-to-eyeball Obama/Edwards axis...They would go the the nonfornicator, Senator Clinton.
So with the complete adulteration of the primary, she should, she could, she must declare the election irrepairably flawed and must have a floor fight.
Now Hillary has fought for 8 years to get to this point, and she feel this is as close as she is going to get to procure the nomination.
Does she love herself more than the DNC? YES
Can you imagine the lines in face in 8 years from now...it will look like a bag of worms.
Now is her time to strike.
What she needs is......an event....a single revelation that is noticed by America.....a Michelle "Whitey" tape....or a Obama birth certificate fiasco which reveals he attempted to deceive the people...;she needs an event......an Obama love child has been discussed in the past.....SOMETHING to break the logjam.....and the nomination is hers.
That is it,...that is my theory.
Something's coming. i feel it in my bones. I've been saying for months that she isn't done...and she's not.
Oh Bomb
the Convention.
My best guess is that not enough Obama people wanted to be there...and he wants a full house....and so....as usual...Hillary will be busing in folks to fill the stadium.
Hey, they write their own rule book and you know they can change it anytime they want.
I swear, she HOPES something will happen.
And when this is over, I predict she will NOT run again for the NY Senate. She never wanted to be a Senator...She HAD to be a Senator.
“None of us wants hillary to be the nominee.”
At least one of ‘us’ has become so disturbed by the flagrant media campaign for obama and the potential for the media to effectively elect him that that one person has concluded the risk of the clinton machine getting back in power is suddenly a lot less frightening than Obama.
This is a differnce of opinion. If Obama wins, some freepers might have buyers regret on this topic.
Not that any of us matter in this game.
What a fool Obama is to allow this. What an absolute fool.
Barack "peace at all costs" Obama will soon find out that you don't give in to the enemy. Not even an inch.
Hillary and her minions will blindside him.
They are already putting out doubts about his eligibility for the presidency because of the mysterious circumstances surrounding his birth/adoption/childhood religion/dual citizenship, etc. Expect that to escalate in the days before the convention.
Clinton is waiting in the wings to step in and "save" the party at the convention. She and her supporters will take the nomination right out from under Obama's nose. He won't know what hit him.
Aloha, Obama.
