Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told a gathering of supporters last week that she's looking for a "strategy" for her delegates to have their voices heard and "respected" at the Democratic National Convention where Sen. Barack Obama is expected to be nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate.Why would she do such a thing?
"I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their
voices were heard and their views were respected. I think that is a very big
part of how we actually come out unified," Clinton, D-N.Y., said at a California
fundraiser last Thursday, in a video clip captured by an
attendee and posted on YouTube.
It seems there is an emotional chord that is stronger than anticipated in those Democrats who remain angry over Hillary being deposed by Barack.
"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.
While Hillary hasn't done the paperwork necessary to wage such a challenge, her people say they're still working out their plans.
"No decisions have been made. And so we are trying to work all this through with
the DNC and with the Obama campaign."
