Toni Alves, a Clinton advocate, said she attended a Clinton fundraiser Thursday in Palo Alto, Calif., where the senator indicated she thought her nomination would be good for party unity. Alves told CQ Politics that Clinton said she wanted her supporters to have their voices heard and her delegates to have the chance to vote for her at the convention. . .
Will Bower, co-founder of the pro-Clinton group PUMA (“Party Unity My Ass”), said the organization has 200 of the 300 delegate signatures necessary to qualify Clinton for the ballot. . .
Bower said the Daily News report was an attempt by the media to quash the petition drive. “It’s not true. She wants her name to be placed in nomination but she can’t actively ask for delegates to do it because she has suspended her campaign and that would be campaigning. But we can make sure the petition is in place for her to sign if and when she needs to or wants to at the convention,” he said. . .
Heidi Li Feldman, a Georgetown University law professor, co-founded The Denver Group to push a roll call vote on Clinton’s nomination. She says Clinton is in a tenuous political situation, caught between her desire not to undermine Obama’s candidacy or Democratic efforts to win the White House, and giving voice to her supporters and delegates.
The Democratic National Committee and Democratic leadership “has chilled her speech,” Feldman claims. She charges that the Democratic Party leadership spent the entire primary season telling Clinton to get out of the race, “so she has every reason to believe that they’ll start beating that drum again” if she makes any sort of public statement.

Nothing could be finer than a catfight refereed by Howie D between the 2 Marxist @ the Mile High arena with 40,000 anarcist in the streets. It will be one for the ages!
The Dems don't just need black votes -- they need people who are motivated to drag people to the polls, and commit the necessary vote fraud. If the motivation isn't there, the Dems are toast
Also, remember that Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party Pres candidate this year, so the black vote has someplace to go if they choose to protest a Dem choice
I've thought so all along.
Yes indeed! Time to check my beeber.................

I thought the msm has already selected the candidates?
Didn’t you get the memo?

Didn’t the beast already say she doesn’t want to be nominated at the rat convention?
Maybe six months ago but not now. She must have the black vote to win. If the Dalibama doesn't get the nomination for any reason, blacks will not turn out to vote at all. Well over half of the blacks voting for the messiah are voting strictly BECAUSE he is black! It is a racist vote. If he does not get the nod, they will simply not vote. They don't want her because she is the best Dem, they want him because he is BLACK!
Right she did not submit the written request for a nomination. I don’t see a card up her sleeve at this time. imho
Maybe Clintco uncovered that Obama’s muslim dad had 8 kids with 4 different wives and fatherd B.Hussein while still married to one in Kenya?
SHE and her felonious husband...
Because shes McCains running mate already! thats why Mitt is out of the picture lately.
Why by now? There are some dems who are privately and some publicly really worried about Obama. This guy has an arrogant jerk attitude of biblical proportions, can't string two words together without an "um", and thinks there are 57 states!
There perfect time for a "nominating coup" would be exactly during the DBM/dem convention.
If the Dems had any brains they’d run Hillary. Fortunately they’re convinced a hallucinating weirdo with a personality disorder and no experience is their best chance.
Such “doubts” do not exist outside of the right-blogosphere.
If Hillary knew something she would have destroyed him with it long ago.
