UPDATE II: I put in a request to the Clinton campaign for a statement about the conversations taking place, both in the conference call last night, as well as the private conversations being reported. What I received confirms the "update" below. Hillary Clinton is unequivocal in her support for Barack Obama and has asked her supporters and her delegates to support Obama and work to make him the nominee. The word "release," as I explain below, is a DNC technicality, and the bottom line is that Hillary wants all of her supporters to work to elect Barack Obama, which means they are no longer bound by their pledge to support her at the convention, though they can *choose* to, though the important emphasis, as you will see below, is that Hillary has asked us all to work and support Obama, the nominee. End of story.
Statement:
Senator Clinton thanked all of her delegates for all of their hard work and urged them all to come together behind Senator Obama. She wants to ensure that her supporters in states that have not completed the delegate process have an opportunity to go to the convention . And while we recognize that delegates are not bound to vote for anyone and can vote however they want, we’re urging her delegates to stay together if they so choose in order to keep advocating for the issues important to the 18 million voters who supported HRC. But she has been crystal clear — Barack Obama is the nominee of our party, and we all need to work hard to elect him President.
