Hillary Plans Own Rally in Show of Strength

Clinton will gather her delegates before releasing them to Obama

(NEWSER) - Hillary Clinton plans a demonstration of her political strength at the Democratic Convention by gathering her own delegates—and supporters—at a separate venue before formally releasing them to vote for Barack Obama.
