No longer looking like a coronation
Though the Democratic convention was shaping up to be the final crowning of the party’s new prince, the Clinton factor wasn’t quite reconciled. Now it is, and Hillary’s backers will have their day.
A Democratic National Convention that is supposed to showcase Barack Obama will devote a considerable amount of time to Hillary Rodham Clinton and her family, with the two campaigns announcing an agreement Thursday to formally enter her name into nomination.
The development means that during the state-by-state vote on a nominee for president, delegates will have the option of choosing Clinton rather than Obama — giving supporters a chance to cheer her candidacy one last time.
