Obama is still the "presumptive nominee"----anything can happen twix now and the final count.

If I were a delegate and knew from the media that the floor vote is simply a charade by the Obama people to allow for Clinton supporters to be present and cast a vote via roll call with no possibility of winning I would not be happy.

In other words, putting on a show of inclusion of Hillary's delegates to make them 'feel good'.

It appears that Obama has the Delegate Count due to the super delegates-----if the super delegates have buyers remorse that could change rapidly.

I am assuming though that DNC Chairman Dean believes he has the nomination for Obama all sewed up. He was never a Clinton supporrter, right?

Consider this--------

If Obama gets the majority via a roll call vote between him and Hillary----and there is not a second vote of affirmation via roll call of individual delegates on the final nomination of Obama the Democrat Party still appears split in its support of Obama.

In other words, Hillary's supporters should call for a second roll call vote of affirmation for Obama after the vote between Clinton and Obama.

If Hillary is the VP nominee this is all mute.
