What prompted Hillary to propose a motion from the convention floor tonight to dispense with the roll call vote and instead, nominate Obama by affirmation? Who got what from whom? Party leadership had already changed the format of the roll call from alphabetical order to a different sequence, ensuring that at no time did Hillary have more nominating votes than Obama. This would indicate to me that democrat leadership was afraid the Clinton forces had enough votes to try to pull something during the process and capture the nomination.
Was a deal reached behind closed doors to forestall such an event in an effort to preserve the appearance of party unity?
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall, listening to that conversation!
