Clinton expected to release delegates Wednesday

By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer

DENVER - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, hoping to unite the Democratic Party and cement her future in it, will gather her hard-won primary delegates Wednesday at a reception where she is expected to formally release them to Barack Obama. Clinton has invited her pledged delegates to a reception at the Colorado Convention Center, not far from the main Democratic National Convention arena.

A Democratic official told The Associated Press Sunday, a day before the convention begins, that she is expected to release her delegates at the Wednesday event. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss details publicly.

Asked about Clinton's plans for the event, her spokesman Philippe Reines said it will be "an opportunity for Senator Clinton to see her delegates — many for the first time since the primaries ended, thank them for their hard work and support, and most importantly to encourage them to support and work for Senator Obama as strongly as she has in order to elect him in November."

Coming into the convention, many Democrats have wondered exactly how and when Clinton would throw her delegates to Obama, and if that would be a messy, contentious affair.

1. That's really a nice gesture on her part. I know her delegates will

appreciate being able to have that meeting with her.

[Doremus]

2. How nice of her.

I hope she enjoys her night in the spotlight. :sarcasm:

All I'm going to say is she'd better do a damned good job of releasing them. Not the slightest hint of rancor, coulda/woulda/shouldas, "I won the popular vote," blue collar code words ... none of it.

When she's done those delegates of hers better know who they should be supporting, and know it deep.



Flame away. I've been watching this Hillary crap silently long enough and I've had it.

4. In all sincerity,

maybe you should consider some anger management therapy. Life is too short to be consumed by so much irrational rage.

11. I will not believe anything..

until I see it. "Fool me once" and all that.

[Zhade]

12. I'm thinking she'll do okay - even she knows she didn't win the popular vote.

NT!

5. Whatever she does

will never be enough for the media.
ALL they ever talk about is Hillary.
both Hillary and Obama must be disgusted.

14. You know... I think you're on to something.

Maybe not disgusted. But possibly embarrassed. Because their supporters are dragging THEM down.

Think of all the wonderful things Hillary could be doing if she didn't have to run around BEGGING her supporters to get a clue! Heck, she could have taken a vacation!!!!!!!!!! She could have gone somewhere private and beat the crap out of Bill for sleeping around throughout her campaign.

And poor Senator Obama has to stay silent because he can't piss of her base OR his, and unfortunately, there's a core group within Obama's base that can't let go either!

And my last thought, and I'm surprised Hillary isn't thinking it: If you love me so $%^&*(ing much, how come I'm still in debt up to my eyeballs???

[happygoluckytoyou]

13. Thank Hillary for teaching DEMOCRATS to fight------>

sorry .... i'm not a Hillary FAN... never was, she was around 7th of the NINE....

BUT i have to say....... if GORE OR KERRY had rented her balls during their elections..... had held on and FOUGHT......
we would be a lot better off today, win or lose----

what the GOP learned was, DEMOCRATS ROLL OVER....
and it took a YEAR OF HILLARY to show a Dem could want the office enough to stay in the fight

OBAMA ----- i hope you learned from this.... NOVEMBER is getting close !!!!

[SoCalDem]

15. She drove a rental car (rented with someone else's credit card) 100 MPH..into a wall

:rofl:
If she had quit when she lost, there would be nothing BUT respect for her.. She spent 3 1/2 months poisoning the well, knowing that SHE would not be the one to have to drink the water..

[paulk]

16. "nothing but respect"

no, you and the rest of the haters would have found something to be pissed at her about....

you need your Hillary hate like a junkie needs his fix.
