Open or Closed:the rollcall is the Indicator
Read the Update at Peacock and Lilies
Get the latest from Alegre What will it be - fascist corporate or democratic grassroots?
Well, BHO and the DNC must have liked what they saw in this morning's straw poll of the delegates, because they've just announced that they're going to do the right thing and tell us how our delegates actually voted. In other words, they tallied the votes from this AM privately, saw they had it, and THEN said they'd announce it in public. Cowards to the end.

"I just spoke with Mary, and she said that BHO is terrified of an honest and open roll call vote - especially after Hillary's speech last night. They want a vote that doesn't reveal the true numbers.
So the delegates are circulating a petition that would open up this process and put on record the support our first-ever woman candidate has in this historic election. They need 20% of the delegates to sign it (800) and she turned in her petition sheets last night but she's not sure where things stand at this point.
Here's how it will play out unless they can get those 800 signatures. Delegates met with their state delegations this morning in breakfast meetings all over Denver. They signed tally sheets and indicated their preference (Hillary or BHO). "Somebody takes those sheets someplace" (she wasn't sure who - or where) and then at 3 pm they take vote on the floor of the convention.
At 5 pm the roll call will be announced state by state starting with Alabama - who will yield to Illinois. They'll jump around and shout and cheer, announce their vote tally and then they'll yield the floor to New York. After a few minutes of jumping shouting and cheering, Hillary is expected to move for a unanimous consent of the convention delegates to declare BHO as our nominee by acclimation.
No one will ever see those numbers folks, unless they can pull together those 800 petition signatures.
Make the jump - there's more..."

I am watching TV - the delegates are not voting according to their state votes. They are all voting for OBAMA regardless of how their state voted -- BO got the state tallies at the breakfast meeting and when they were certain the delegates would ignore the votes of the people in their states, Obama let the roll call be public. If he is elected he will be a corporate fascist. I would like him to get elected because these foolish “democrats” need a lesson. However as in Nazi Germany it won't be the Party members who suffer but the dissenters and opponents. These fools will give the Nazi salute while women and workers are destroyed, nuclear power plant built and social security privatized as if it were the phone company. The youth and the rich will join BO to do it.
