Clinton to supporters: 'Yell and scream,' then back Obama

With the Democratic National Convention less than three weeks away, Sen. Hillary Clinton is making it clear that she wants the voices of her supporters heard.

But the big question is -- what kind of voice will they have?

Mixed in with the harmonious calls for party unity are the die-hard Clinton fans who are holding out hope that her name will somehow appear on the ballot.

She and former rival Sen. Barack Obama issued a joint statement Wednesday night saying they are "working together to make sure the fall campaign and the convention are a success."

:::

Clinton said she wanted her supporters to leave the convention feeling as if their voices were heard and satisfied with Obama as the nominee.

"I mean everybody comes, and they want to yell and scream and have their opportunity, and I think that's all to the good, because then, you know, everybody can go, 'OK great. Now let's go out and win.' "

add to the mix the hold out groups, such as 18 MILLION VOICES RISE HILLARY RISE, who are planning to stage marches at the dnc, and unity is going to be the last thing everyone will see on their tv's...the msm will see to that.

the clintonista are becoming the freddy krueger of the campaign season.

the revolution will not be televised...

Do you think keeping her name off the ballot would stop any of that? Does it never occur to you that adhering to custom would offer the best opportunity to get past that? Is the current strategy working? No? Then perhaps it should be changed.

why is that obama's responsibility to resolve this? he can't control who's name is put on the ballot.

the point being, hrc's the only one who can defuse the situation, and she refuses to do so. this could have all be resolved long ago with a little effort on her part, but that it isn't going to happen, because, as always with the clintons, it's all about them.

the drama has worn thin and l'm tired of hearing about it, as is most everyone else. moving forward is what everyone agrees needs to be done, with the exception of the fringe...and they're not going to be happy unless she's on the ticket...which she will not be.

it's petty, vindictive and juvenile, and just feeds the msm's obsession with the "turmoil" within the d party apparatus.

the revolution will not be televised...
