So it appears that Hillary Clinton as somehow managed to get Barak Obama to agree to her name being submitted for nomination at the DNC. This is great stuff!
Now, she should have been on it anyway, but Obama wanted to use some archaic method of just having the delegate vote being a formality. Looks like that won't be happening, and Obama may have, at the very least, allowed for chaos to ensue. This will certainly be a big news story leading up to the official delegate vote, and therefore will take away focus on Obama the candidate. At worst, he may have just cost himself the nomination.
Don't forget that neither Clinton or Obama have enough pledged delegates to capture the nomination. Obama is basically relying on a bunch of IOU's from the Super Delegates. They can vote for whoever they choose. If Obama does not do a better job of proving that he is in fact a viable candidate and not a celebrity whose time in the spolight will fade, there is a good chance that Hillary can convince enough super delegates to vote for her.
It doesn't get better than this! To be a fly on the wall!
Stay tuned for more info as it comes.
