“It’s an olive bough that we deem will pay dividends in party unity,” one Democratic congressman told me.
The Obama compete was in immersed suffer vertigo mode this week touting its conclusiveness to allow Hillary Clinton to have a orbit call show of hands at the convention so her delegates can register their foundation of her. “It’s an olive affiliate that we think will pay dividends in ally unity,” one Democratic congressman told me. I’m not so sure.
Many Clinton supporters will be appreciative of the symbolic gesture, but others such as those who unofficially rouse themselves Pumas (Party Unity My Ass) may socialize with it as an moment to write more agitation for Mr. Obama both on and off the conclave floor. “The one passion that Obama should never have agreed to is a roll-call voter with Hillary Clinton,” says Jeff Birnbaum, a Washington Post columnist. Mr. Birnbaum nevertheless admits to being “so appreciative that we are prosperous to have a story, which is Hillary Clinton’s bid tacitly to rob over the Obama victory, and that [story] will go through less every lifetime of the convention” given how frequently Bill and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to appear before delegates.
Indeed, the Clinton common man I spoke with appear emboldened by the Obama concessions. They have already secured jargon in the Democratic tenet denouncing the mainstream media for its “sexist” coverage of the Democratic primaries. You can punt one of the few genuinely newsworthy stories the hordes of reporters in Denver will masticate on is just how much Hillary Clinton is supporting Barack Obama — and how much basically laying underpinning for a comeback exploit in 2012 if he loses in the fall.
