Thread: Obama Camp Caves in to Roll Call Vote

Obama and Clinton try to reach convention deal By Anne E. Kornblut
Washington Post


WASHINGTON - With the clock running out on preparations for the Democratic convention, advisers to Sen. Barack Obama are scrambling to reach a compromise with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton over exactly how her candidacy will be honored and how they will defuse the threat of upheaval from her supporters in Denver. The Obama and Clinton camps said this week that they agree on a central point: They would like to avoid an embarrassing display of discord from Clinton's most ardent backers when the convention begins Aug. 25. Conversations about how to achieve that have increasingly focused on whether Clinton's name will be offered in a roll-call vote by delegates to determine the nominee, even though she has said she is not challenging Obama's claim as the party's standard-bearer.
Clinton confidante Cheryl Mills is working directly with Obama campaign manager David Plouffe to reach an accommodation, both sides confirmed. Clinton has been told she will probably speak Tuesday, Aug. 26, two nights before Obama's acceptance speech, and she is working on her remarks, which will be, in the words of one associate, largely "forward-looking."

Barry has voted along party lines 96% of the time.....he will always do what he's told.

Well I read your post where does it say that he caved or that a roll call vote has been approved. Mayhap I missed it or mayhap this is just a dishonest thread?

Hillary just might win the nomination.......there is still that little problem with Barry's birth certificate.


By the way, say hello to the folks over at PF for me, especially Mas Tequila and TheChief. In fact, send them over here, I could use some help fighting these commies.

Do you really think Obama wants to be reminded that Hillary won the majority of the last 15 or so primaries and that he just barely got the potential nomination?

Instead of googling kiddie porn try using google to find the information you seem to have such a hard time locating.

You asked for proof of a roll call vote and I gave you that proof. Do you really think Obama wants to be reminded of what a weak candidate he is by having the person next to him who kicked his ass in the primaries?
