Clinton die-hards want floor vote at convention

Some supporters of Hillary Clinton are clamoring for her name to be included in the roll call vote at the Democratic convention, even though she's already endorsed Barack Obama.

Clinton die-hards? I wasn't even a Clinton supporter.

It isn't just Clinton die-hards that think her name should be entered into nomination at the convention. I wasn't even a Clinton supporter and I think they should call the roll.

We had a historic primary where the Democratic Party ultimately chose between a black man and a woman to lead the ticket this fall. They both deserve some recognition. And there is also the whole "coming together" thing. You don't think that the real die-hard Clinton supporters, people Obama needs if he is to win in November, are going to be more than a little ticked off if their favorite candidate is not at least entered into nomination?

For me, it doesn't really matter. I won't be voting for Obama regardless. But if Obama wants to win, he and the convention planners would be well advised to give Clinton her due.
