Senator Clinton to be placed into nomination at the convention

Looks like Senator Clinton will be placed into nomination alongside Presumptive nominee Obama.

As anyone who has followed this blog can attest, I am not a big fan of Senator Clinton. Her campaign was at times embarrassing, and at other times mean-spirited. She seemed far too interested in making the campaign about her, and her followers have often been unbearable.

However, I have no problem with her name being put into nomination at the convention. The Obama campaign appears to be on board with this move, which is reason enough for me to believe it is a wise course of action. It will give her supporters one last chance to show her their support, and will give an excellent opportunity for her to pivot her support fully over to Senator Obama.

If this happens, it will be completely in the hands of Obama's campaign. There isn't any conspiracy to derail his nomination, at least not in the minds of any rational person. Only the craziest of her (and Obama's) supporters believe some coup will take place if she is entered for nomination. Trust me, it is nothing but formality and ceremony. It will be a nice appetizer to set up for the big feast on Thursday.
