“Would Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi have kept his name off the ballot?”

Another pro-Clinton group, 18 Million Voices, is organizing a march on that day in Denver “and nationwide to support Sen. Clinton and advocate for women’s rights worldwide,” according to its Web site.

Some of the Denver Group’s goals are at odds with those of the Democratic Party, The Hill newspaper reports. It wants an open convention, with Hillary’s name placed in nomination, as well as a genuine roll call vote with Clinton as a legitimate candidate instead of what it calls a “coronation” of Barack Obama.

Clinton backers in Denver will hold signs reading, “Denounce Nobama’s Coronation,” according to the Denver Post.

Heidi Li Feldman, co-founder of the Denver Group, said her organization has raised up to $40,000 and bought six print ads in addition to the TV commercial.

One print ad showed a picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt and asked, “Would Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi have kept his name off the ballot?”

Now this is absolutely ridiculous. I thought it was a nice gesture for Obama to include Hillary in the convention. But if that is going to fire up these idiot supporters, it can't be a good thing at all.

1. Hillary Clinton's name will be placed in nomination.

Also, that was Hillary Clinton's decision to make under DNC rules. It wasn't up to Obama or Howard Dean.

2. I think it is a bad decision

because some of her supporters are insane. It will just fire them up.

3. a lot of them do seem kind of...."off" (LOL..PUMAS, not Hillary supporters)

Which makes me think that the insanity and protests would still happen even if Hillary's name wasn't on the ballot. And the media would probably try and portray the convention as divided either way as well.

4. I think they seem 'off' because the are really right wingers acting...

There only pretending to be democratic to stir up trouble. The reason they look so crazy is because they are bad actors and don't really believe what they say. Also there isn't a logic to what they are saying.
