Barack Obama has to make yet another concession to the Clinton forces:
"Hillary Clinton supporters will get their chance for catharsis at the Democratic National Convention in Denver as the New York senator’s name will be included in the nomination. A joint statement issued Thursday by Clinton and Barack Obama said Clinton will be included because they want to ensure that “the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver.” “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,” Obama said."
Heh. This is only about two weeks after Obama told the press that he didn't really think there needed to be much "catharsis" at the convention. And only a few weeks after Clinton had indicated she wouldn't have her name placed in nomination...
But I suspect the Clintons have figured out that Sen. Obama can be rolled, and that he'll do a lot to "appease" them. How much more? We'll keep our eyes peeled.
