What is the day the roll-call vote for the presidential nomination?

I was surprised that while the Omaha World-Herald published a schedule today, there was no date or time for the vote on the presidential nomination.

Search for "coronation."  Ignore the year-ago references to mrs. clinton.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

he Democratic National Convention: What to watch for The big three networks, CBS, NBC and ABC, will broadcast from Denver at 10 p.m. each day. The news networks, CSPAN, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, are expected to have wall-to-wall coverage.

Highlights of the convention: Monday Biography: One of Barack ObamaÄôs big goals for this convention is to better introduce himself to voters, much like Bill Clinton did in 1992. This task, on the first day, will fall to ObamaÄôs half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, brother-in-law Craig Robinson and wife, Michelle, who is the prime-time speaker.

Kennedy: A tribute to Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy is planned, and scuttle in Washington is the liberal icon, diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in May, might attend. Former President Jimmy Carter, who battled with Kennedy in the last close primary election in 1980, will also speak this day.

Quote
Thursday Obama: Reminiscent of JFK at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles in 1960, Obama moves the convention to the 75,000-seat Invesco Field at Mile High where heÄôll be the first African-American to accept a major partyÄôs presidential nomination.

Delegates: Those party loyalists take the stage today during a state-by-state roll call. In the name of party unity, Hillary ClintonÄôs name will be placed in nomination. Clinton is expected to release her delegates to Obama, announce her support for him and ask her backers to do the same.
