  Hillary Clinton has shown herself to be a team player.  A few moments ago she made a motion to suspend the DNC rules and nominate Barack Obama by acclaimation.  Basically, Clinton delegates who were unwilling to support Obama will not have their votes counted.  Clinton's motion was passed by a two thirds vote of delegates although in all fairness, those who opposed the motion weren't really given the chance to be heard.

  The Democrats avoided a divisive and damaging roll call vote. It would have been a disaster if a significant percentage of delegates did not vote for the presumptive nominee, in this case Obama

  The fact that Hillary herself made such a motion shows she is doing all she can to unite the party behind Obama. This is probably one of the hardest things she's had to do considering how much she wants to be president.

  Perhaps her time will come.
