Clinton Leaves Option Open for Convention Floor Vote

(Fox News) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says her defeating Barack Obama at a contested Democratic National Convention “is not going to happen” but she is looking for a way for her delegates to vent before getting behind the future nominee ahead of the November election.

Clinton and Obama have made at least four appearances together and she has solicited financial support for Obama from her fundraisers since she endorsed him on June 7, pledging to “join forces” to “make history ” and put Obama in the White House. She told a mostly female group of backers at a California fundraiser last week that she wants unity in the party, but she is asked every day whether she will put her name on the ballot.

Clinton said that her delegates want to have a role and feel that their “legitimacy is validated,” before the group moves forward to back Obama.
