Though Sen. Clinton has been given a prime time speaking role at the Democratic Convention, she still does not seem to be satisfied.  The senator from New York may seek to put her name in nomination/roll call vote.  This is regardless of the fact that such an act will result in more division within the democratic party.  Instead of unifying the party at the democratic convention, this will result in division by stirring up old wounds from the primaries.  Why??  And again, Clinton and her former supporters are being recognized on the second night of the Democratic Convention where she has a prime-time speaking role.  Placing Clinton’s name in the nomination will result in a floor fight on the Convention floor.  Why is this necessary??  Even though the Republican party would take great delight in the democrats fighting amongst themselves, this would be a disastrous for the democratic party.  The fact that Clinton would even put this out there as an option make me question her motives.  Is she interested in recognition of her supporters or is there a more sinister motive at play?  At what cost should the democratic party do such a thing.  Is it worth……increasing the risk of division within the party thereby subjecting Obama to at least a month of valuable campaign time after the Convention to re-unite the party?  Is it worth……increasing a possibility of lost in November?  Sen. Clinton says that placing her name in nomination will increase the likelihood of unity after the Convention because her delegates will be recognized.  First, that is already happening on Tuesday.  Second, look at the polls Sen. Clinton, all the groups that you say need to be united are already united behind Obama.  What is the point of creating unnecessary division where none exist?  This is needless drama and for what?  Pundits continually put the onus on Obama to use his diplomatic skills to bring in the Clintons.  How about putting the onus on the Clintons to grow up and accept the fact that they lost fair and square and start putting the Democratic party first?

See Clinton’s full quote below.

“Because I know from just what I’m hearing, that there’s incredible pent-up desire. And I think that people want to feel like, ‘OK, it’s a catharsis, we’re here, we did it, and then everybody get behind Sen. Obama.’ That is what most people believe is the best way to go,” she said.

“No decisions have been made. And so we are trying to work all this through with the DNC and with the Obama campaign.”

It’s OOOOOOOOVVVVVEEERRR.  Please let it go!
