Deal: Clinton's Name Will Be Placed in Nomination at Dems Convention

August 14, 2008 11:09 AM

ABC News' Kate Snow reports: A deal has been brokered between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that will allow Clinton's name to be placed in nomination at next week's Democratic nominating convention, sources close to the Clinton camp told ABC News.

"Both sides agree that it is in the best interest of party unity and making sure that everyone's voice and vote is honored to make sure her name is put into nomination," a person close the negotiations said. "It's to honor everyone who worked so hard on both sides."

One now has to wonder if the outing of John Edwards in the Enquirer was a trial run, with the added benefit of improving the credibility of the National Enquirer?

Only 112 Obama superdelegates would have to abstain from the first vote to deny him a first ballot victory. After the first ballot, all delegates are free to vote for whomever they choose, even someone who did not run in the primaries.

Worth repeating...

And don’t forget that this comes AFTER Obama said that the entire Florida and Michigan delegations should be seated. Does anyone have the delegate counts including those states? It could be even closer than I think...

...tanking in the polls smoking and golfing in paradise when the world is facing a Russian invasion crisis.

BHO smokes?
Didn't know that.
That's news.

Those 112 would pay a HUGE political price for aligning themselves with the old guard. They would have to be bought off in a MAJOR way.

This can't help him either - although Hillary's ilk aren't responsible for getting it out. Everyone needs to read it though - be sure you don't miss seeing the video half way down the page.

Alice Palmer's revenge is going to be cold as ice.

To paraphrase Khan talking to Kirk in Star Trek II:

"Ah, Bama...my old friend. Do you not know the proverb that tells us 'revenge is a dish that is best served cold'?

"It is very coooooooooold....in Denver....."

Uh oh. There are going to be a bunch of Hollyweird fruitcakes who won’t be happy about this development.

Gonna have to load up on the popcorn....

Oh, yeah.

I usually don't watch the Dem convention because I can't stand listening to the idiocy that spews forth, but this year, I'm planning to watch as much of it as I can, time zone issues permitting.

Where’d we get the idea that the vote isn’t binding? I thought a roll call vote is exactly that, the official declaration of how that delegate casts their vote?

Threatening 112? That’s a tall order.

You reminded me of Gene Wilder in Willie Wonka when Augustus Gloop gets stuck in the pipe. When asked how long it’ll take for Augustus to get shot out of the tube, Wonka says, “The suspense is terrible. I hope it lasts.”

Time to get the rumors going that hillary is stealing delegates behind the scenes..

You actually believe that's a rumor?
