Hillary Clinton Gets A Convention Roll Call
Democrats have announced plans today to allow Hillary Clinton's name to be placed in nomination at the Democratic Convention, giving the party a chance to showcase unity later this month in Denver.
With strong supporters of Clinton demanding such a roll call, the two campaigns decided to pre-empt those moves and cut a deal themselves.
What follows is the email announcing it from the Obama and Clinton camps, which pretty much undercuts a lot of the talk about some kind of insurrection at the convention.
I'm sure there will be some Clinton die-hards who want to make their point, but I would be surprised if it is a very strong movement.

Statement from the Obama and Clinton Press Offices
August 14, 2008
Since June, Senators Obama and Clinton have been working together to ensure a Democratic victory this November. They are both committed to winning back the White House and to to ensuring that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver. To honor and celebrate these voices and votes, both Senator Obama's and Senator Clinton's names will be placed in nomination.
"I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion," said Senator Barack Obama.
Senator Obama's campaign encouraged Senator Clinton's name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nation's primary contests.
"With every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again," said Senator Hillary Clinton.
Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are looking forward to a convention unified behind Barack Obama as the Party's nominee and to victory this fall for America.
