Have Clinton be the first person to vote
I think it would be a great signal to her supporters and a true pledge of unity plus to put her in the spotlight to have Hillary be the first delegate to be called on to vote.

2. Dude that would be so COOL, all the states yield to NY and Senator Clinton
as the Honorary Delegation Chair makes the announcement of New York's votes.

Awesome, actually and great political theater. Then Arizona can yield back to Alabama and they can go on alphabetically until it gets close enough and Illinois can 'put him over the top' (having yielded earlier for just this reason)

Sorry I am a major fan of the Roll Call.

3. I think this is likely
They will make a big deal out of Hillary's vote for Obama, to be sure. It will play beautifully. Million vote moment. They'd have to be fools to pass it up, and they are not fools.

5. Naw
I thought of that but I think it would be better for his home state to put him over the top.

With Hillary casting the first vote it will signal to all the holdouts that she supports Obama.

6. That would be great
It would set the tone, and what a moment that would be.

7. Shut the PUMAs up once and for all
I think it would make it clear where Hillary stands.
