She is not going to endorse him till the convention.
The DNC created this mess all for them selves. Thank God Dean was not elected president as he can not even run a committee.
Totally disagree with you here. I not only think she will endorse Obama. I will even bet you that Obama will pick her as his running mate. How scary is that for the Republicans.
Uh-oh! Listening to the tape of the vote and its aftermath - Harold Ickes winds up his speech with an ominous, "Mrs. Clinton has instructed me to reserve her right to take this to the credentials committee."
The WSJ's Washington Wire: "The credentials committee is the next procedural step in the DNC rule-making process that leads up to the convention. Even if Clinton continues the fight, she still has little or no chance to win the nomination. Months of intra-party bickering and disputes between the rival presidential campaigns resulted in a no more than a net gain of 24 delegates for Clinton."
I hope she is not the VP pick. I don't like here but the reason is how she acted in this campaign. Mant times she could have taken the high road like I believe Obama did several times but she didn't. I would have a hard time believing that she supports him. I think she has said things that make that hard to believe. I know in pass years President and VP don't always even like each other. I just think that another person would send a better message and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that for her its more about getting closer to the president position than supporting Obama.

They won't have the votes in the credentials committee either. One thing notable about the vote on the Mi compromise, 19 for and 8 against. This is in a committee that had at least 13 members that had openly endorsed Hillary, meaning that the party is coming together behind Obama.
So let me get this straight. The DNC basically adopted the Florida's Republican rule for seating 1/2 of the delegates so are you stating then that the Republicans are the same and can't run a committee or Primary right. Is that what you are saying.
Did the Republican have a meeting today?
Nope they on the other hand did not change their first rule.
"The Florida and Michigan decisions made this evening by the committee have also shifted the goal post for the number of delegates needed to secure the party’s nomination. Set at 2,026 delegates up until today, the new number needed to secure the nomination, according to the DNC, is 2,118.
"Adding in the delegates awarded in today’s process, Obama still maintains a significant delegate lead over Clinton: 2,052-1,877.5, according to the Associated Press count. Obama is now 66 delegates away from the nomination, while Clinton has a much steeper climb of 240.5 delegates."

From the same WSJ article, "The decision was met with some uproar from Clinton supporters in the crowd, many were heard shouting 'McCain in ‘08!' in frustration."
Also, I cant believe the bad manners of this wild pack of rank-and-file yelling and booing. Like a bunch of rowdy teenagers.

Like most said I don't think he will pick her. She will endorse him I'm just not sure she will until the convention.

They were extremely disruptive, a product of the type of campaign Clinton has run.
Hillary got what she said she wanted -- all delegates to be counted from FL & Mi. Now she will have to think of a new reason for being the nominee.
She's dragging out the popular vote dead horse again. That'll be her next lame excuse. Popular vote has nothing to do with the primaries! Delegates are what matters here, right Mr. Ickes? Yeah you bet your a** it does!
