Clinton To Get Roll Call At Dem Convention

This should be entertaining. 

Turns out Democratic primary loser Hillary Rodham Clinton will get time to shine at the party’s national convention after all — and quite a bit of it. Democrats officially will choose Barack Obama to run against Republican John McCain this fall.

But in an emblematic move meant to heal divisive primary wounds, the vanquished Clinton name also will be placed in nomination alongside his during the traditional state-by-state delegation roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

And, she gets her own plum speaking slot.

So does her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

  2. Entertaining is a word.  Choreographed is another.

  3. It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with.  It does not feel pity, or remorse, or fear.  And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until it is President.
