Hillary Clinton Releases Delegates

Hillary Clinton is releasing her convention delegates to vote for Barack Obama.  But she isn't telling them how to vote in tonight's roll call of the states.
  
In an emotional meeting this afternoon, Clinton told her delegates, ``You've come here from so many different places having made this journey and feeling in your heart what is right for you to do.''

Clinton told her loyal followers that the campaign has been a joy. She said, ``Yes, we didn't make it. But, boy, did we have a good time.''
  
A roll call vote is scheduled after brief nominating speeches for both Clinton and Obama. The former rivals negotiated a plan that would cut off the split roll call after a few states, perhaps by Clinton herself, in favor of acclamation for Obama.
