WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton's name will be placed in nomination along with nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, an emblematic move intended to unite the party after a divisive primary.

During the Denver gathering, Democrats will officially choose Obama to run against Republican John McCain this fall, but the state delegations will do a traditional roll call for their nominee's vanquished primary opponent as well.

Obama and Clinton — fierce rivals then, reluctant allies now — agreed to the arrangement after weeks of negotiations between their respective aides. The two sides made the announcement Thursday in a collegial joint statement.

"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," said Obama, an Illinois senator.

Added Clinton, a New York senator: "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."

It would be nice to see 1/3 or more vote for Hillary. But since Obama agreeded one has to believe the "fix" is in so it will not look so bad

It is a treat to watch the Clintons on the receiving end of the tactics they used against their political opponets for over 30 years

and Dems cheered the entire time and told us what political gods they were

I think this is a dumb move for Obama. Especially if he makes some more dumb mistakes before the convention. Because the superdelegates are not bound to vote for Obama. Seriously, this is the last thing Obama should have done. But then he hasnt exactly shown good judgment in the past, why expect it now?

I am sure he has taken a count and knows has a cushion if some switch at the last minute

I do hope Hillary gets a large percentage of the vote to show how well Obama has unified the party
