Obama, Clinton camps working on hotel roll-call vote

Supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton are furiously circulating petitions on the floor of the Democratic National Convention tonight, hoping to stave off a plan to hold the convention's roll call at breakfast Wednesday — out of the public eye — sources inside the delegations say.

The move being worked out between the Obama campaign and officials behind Clinton's suspended bid, would work in two parts: Delegates would cast votes at their hotels Wednesday morning; that night, at the Pepsi Center convention site, the roll-call process would rely on the votes cast that morning, the delegates said.

I did the requisite title search and didn't see this. If it's a duplicate, I apologize.

I think they are tring to be too cute by half, and it looks like some of the Clinton folks are really pissed.

The move being worked out between the Obama campaign and officials behind Clinton's suspended bid,

"We just want a roll call like you're supposed to have," said one of the delegates collecting signatures for the petition, who asked not to be named because of concern about friction within the party.

That is a rather odd way to "support Obama." It appears to me as though a lot of delagates are not going to vote for "Hussein the Great."

‘What was that San Fran Nan said about “Open Government”?’

She mentioned ‘civility’, too. Obviously that was a crock-
