An unauthorized video of Hillary Clinton speaking to a group of supporters in Palo Alto shows that she is interested in appearing on the first ballot roll call at the Democratic Convention, which starts August 25th. (See video below.)
The PUMA/Just Say No Deal coalition is strongly backing the efforts to have an open roll-call vote that includes Hillary Clinton as a nominee, as do some delegates. Clinton has said that she feels a roll-call vote is necessary as a unifying step to show her supporters that they have been heard. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has stated that there is no question that Hillary will appear on the ballot at the convention.
Although Clinton has said she wants Obama to win the White House, some still believe that a first ballot roll-call could be a step to a nomination of Clinton rather than Obama.
