"when the roll call hits whatever state that puts Obama over the top, then someone, probably a well known Hillary supporter, will move from the floor that the nomination be made unanimous by acclamation.

And it will be."

Aug 4:

"When the roll call reaches the state that puts Obama over the top, a motion will be made from the floor to make his nomination unanimous. A voice "roar" from the crowd will affirm the motion, and he will be nominated unanimously.

On the first ballot."

"I don't think it matters one iota whether HIllary's name is officially nominated or not. She has already pledged her support for Obama, she will deliver a knockout speech in support of him at the convention, and she is campaigning for him in the next few weeks while he is on vacation, at the Obama camp's request. Something she will continue to do throughout the fall.

The only people "upset" about any of this are those that don't understand how conventions work or those that are still fighting the primary battles and want to illegitimately twist any piece of information to try to fit their bogus claim that Hillary is trying to undermine our nominee.

Obama will be our nominee on the first ballot and Hillary will be a powerhouse presence on his behalf and a very important part of bringing our party together to whup McCain's ass in the fall."

2. K & R

I don't post here in GD-P often (ever?); but I was watching the roll call vote threads and some of the confusion.

May I link to this thread as an explanation for the inevitable questions? I promise when I do link it, I'll be polite and not snarky-Cerridwen.

3. Sure

but this thread is a little bit of good natured unity snark in itself.

4. I noticed.

The "snark" part. That's okay, too. It's still a pretty good explanation for what appear to be, a whole lot of first time convention watchers here.

:D


eta: oh, and thank you.

[question everything]

5. Yes, I do remember reading these comments

and others of yours.

You have helped many of us understand the intricacies of the convention and of the process, in clear, concise statement, not mocking anyone who does not know.

Thanks.
