we are ready for the floor?

uriouser and curiouser.

hrc's name will be put into nomination in denver. from the times:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name will be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention, a symbolic move approved by the Obama campaign in an effort to soothe a lingering rift with Clinton supporters...

For Democrats inside the convention center in Denver, as well as the television audience at home, it could create some interesting moments. After the state-by-state roll is tallied, Mrs. Clinton is expected to turn over her cache of delegates to Senator Barack Obama.

So how will Mrs. Clinton, who is a superdelegate herself, vote? Associates say she will throw her lot behind Mr. Obama and ask her supporters to follow suit. To see if it unfolds as the Obama campaign hopes – free of acrimony – tune in on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

here's the proverbial $64,000 dollar question; does this agreement make it seem more or less likely that shell be on the ticket?

you could argue that it signals this is less likely, b.c if hill was gonna be nominated for veep - a historic feat* - why would she need another historic tribute? is that overkill?

on the other hand, you could reason that the roll call for hill, itself a tribute to her supporters as much as it will be to her, would only accentuate a union of her and obama.

bottom line: i like the angels in five.
