BREAKING: Hillary Won't Instruct Delegates to Vote for Obama!!!
The Politico ^

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.

Hillary will be the nominee and quite possibly, it will split the party. Any split the Dems endure by keeping Obamamessiah doesn't even come close to the split they endure by ousting him, at this stage. There is no way they will risk losing the black vote for the next couple of generations, which is what happens if Barry gets the boot.
It'll be Osamessiah & McJuan.

Hillary can only fracture, she cannot become elected, so she will not try to depose Barry Soetoro. The black voters with the democrat party are not in the same predicament as white conservatives and the Republican party; black voters instinctively know their lives will not get worse with McCain so they can abandon the democrap party for one or two cycles; while conservatives instinctively KNOW what hell will follow allowing Barry and company into the Presidency. [Please God, whisper into John McCain's ear that our nation needs a conservative man to stand with him who can stand in for him. Help John pick Duncan Hunter, Please Lord!]

Since it’s a secret ballot, I’m willing to bet Hillary doesn’t pull the lever for the Obamasiah, despite her “assurances” to the contrary.

If Hillary was related to the Borgia’s Obama wouldn’t be breathing right now. No,I believe she has something else planned for Mr. Obama, something that would make the Ghost of Machiavelli smile.

This Convention and this DNC are like no other I can remember.
She didn't stop running ... and now FL and MI delegates count. She didn't endorse him ... but she didn't diss him.

He basically ignored Carter during the Convention when he got up on stage, and many think that ultimately doomed Carters re-election chances. The fact that Carter lost 44 states hints at other, more relevant reasons...
