this isn't going to make the PUMAs happy.  either give her the roll call vote, or tell the hillaryites
to get bent.  these half measures aren't going to to do anything but annoy both camps.

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.

The move is being resisted by some Clinton delegates, who are busy tonight circulating a petition among delegates as the opening night of the convention, titled "One Nation," gets underway.

"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.

First they wanted a roll call .. then they were going to have Hilary stop the roll call after the New York delegates voted and publically claim to give all her delegates to Obama .. now they dont want it made public at all??

Obama either has the votes to clinch it or he doesnt. At this point, it looks like he doesnt..

I think he has the delegates.  he is just trying to keep the hillaryites from storming the podium with pitchforks at some point during the convention.
