Speaking to reporters after her address to the New York delegation, Clinton offered delegates no instruction on how to cast their votes, Amie Parnes reports.
"I will be telling my delegates that I will vote for Barack Obama," she said. "How they vote is a more personal decision. They want to have their chance to vote for me. That is what traditionally happens ... some people are having to make up their minds because there are arguments pulling them both ways."
Many of Clinton's delegates have already made up their minds. Some of her pledged delegates will vote for the one that brung them. Many of her superdelegates — particularly those with substantial African-American constituencies — have already said they'll vote for Obama. Reps. Anthony Weiner (who's running for mayor of New York) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are both in that category.
But her decision not to decide puts others in a tough position, torn betewen their loyalty to her and their eye to the future.

And so it begins, the subtle innuendo, the vague praise, the not so sweet strawberries on the shortcake. And that’s just Hillary. I can’t wait for Bill.

Rumors are Bill is furious about not being able to say certain things in his speech this week. Obama's campaign is telling him what to say!!:missingte

I think the rift is he wants to talk about the economy but the night is deemed national security night or something. They aren't telling him "what to say" but are trying to keep it in the line with the subject of the night.
