Clinton's name will be placed in nomination

Hillary Clinton's name will symbolically be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention, but then she will quickly turn her delegates over to Barack Obama and cast her superdelegate vote for him.

The latest move to unify Democrats behind Obama and mollify Clinton's supporters was negotiated between the two camps.

Clinton and Obama just issued a joint statement: "Since June, Senators Obama and Clinton have been working together to ensure a Democratic victory this November. They are both committed to winning back the White House and to to ensuring that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver. To honor and celebrate these voices and votes, both Senator Obama's and Senator Clinton's names will be placed in nomination."

“I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” Obama said in the statement.

“With every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again,” Clinton said in the statement.
The role of Clinton and her supporters at the convention has been one of the most closely-watched aspects.

Clinton's hardcore supporters are already planning marches in Denver, and she is scheduled to speak on the convention's second night. The roll-call is scheduled for the third night, Wed., Aug. 27.
