Hillary Open to Having Her Name Placed in Nomination at Denver Convention (Video)

In the video below, Hillary Rodham Clinton makes clear that she remains open to the question of having her name placed in nomination at the Denver Convention: "I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their voices were heard and their views were respected."


ABC News reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton told a gathering of supporters last week that she's looking for a "strategy" for her delegates to have their voices heard and "respected" at the Democratic National Convention -- and did not rule out the possibility of having her name placed into nomination at the convention alongside Sen. Barack Obama's.


KAREN TUMULTY at TIME:
Clinton has been giving tacit encouragement to suggestions that her name be placed in nomination at the convention, a symbolic move that would be a reminder of the bruising primary battle. "No decisions have been made," Clinton said when asked in California — to whoops and applause — about that possibility. Still, it was hard to miss what Clinton would like to see in the pointed way she added, "Delegates can decide to do this on their own. They don't need permission."
