No Guidance From Clinton
Speaking to reporters after her address to the New York delegation, Clinton offered delegates no instruction on how to cast their votes, Amie Parnes reports.
"I will be telling my delegates that I will vote for Barack Obama," she said. "How they vote is a more personal decision. They want to have their chance to vote for me. That is what traditionally happens ... some people are having to make up their minds because there are arguments pulling them both ways."
Many of Clinton's delegates have already made up their minds. Some of her pledged delegates will vote for the one that brung them. Many of her superdelegates — particularly those with substantial African-American constituencies — have already said they'll vote for Obama. Anthony Weiner (who's running for mayor of New York) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are both in that category.
But her decision not to decide puts others in a tough position, torn betewen their loyalty to her and their eye to the future.
I say she'll go all-in balls-to-the-wall.
I think I just had an epiphany, LOL! In another article it was being discussed that they would poll the delegates, then at some point (New York was mentioned) Hillary would call for a discontinuation of the polling.
If they wait till NY to suspend the polling, the Michigan and Florida delegates would be polled...wonder how they'd line up?
One should need no further proof of Obama's poor judgement / naivety / lack of foresight / stupidity (you pick) than his allowance of these delegations to fully count.
This will get ugly quickly.
LOL - I love that line.
I’m guessing it starts out “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears” and goes on to talk a lot about “honorable men.”
LMAO
HIllary likely has delegates WHO HAVE BEEN PROMISED JOBS in her pocket.
Is the balloting secret?? That would certainly play a role".
McCain would never pick a conservative like Hunter. Never.
I heard today that ALL Michigan and ALL Florida delegates were to seated and counted.
He basically ignored Carter during the Convention when he got up on stage, and many think that ultimately doomed Carter’s re-election chances.
Thanks. I do remember asking why the Naval Academy didn’t endorse Carter.He said the military knew what it would be like if he won. Needless to say, we knew a lot of our friends resigned their commissions then. My husband was already out, Wonder if they will back McCain?
hoary, hatchet-faced harridans for Hillary!

(but also, Adrienne Barbeau and the twins!)
You are right there. However he may, if he’s smart, tap him for SECDHS or SECDEF.
NOW if McCain is reading and watching, he needs a true blue Conservative with Reagan foresight like Duncan Hunter to make this a complete landslide.
***Bump that, veepcake for the right. B4DH.
Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!
It does capture Hillary's feelings for Obama, and her general love for all mankind, doesn't it?
