But Sanders might play a role. This is at odds with earlier reports that said Bernie would nominate Hillary.

Maryland Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski and Georgia Rep. John Lewis will formally nominate Hillary Clinton for the presidency on Tuesday night, PBS NewsHour's John Yang and NPR's Mara Liasson report.

But don't be surprised if Bernie Sanders also plays a role tonight during the roll call — something potentially similar to what Clinton did in 2008 for Barack Obama. Back then, the roll call was stopped when it came to New York, and Clinton, after her long and divisive primary against Obama, called for a vote for Obama by acclamation. It was a move that allowed the party to nominate Obama unanimously.

Mikulski, the longest-serving woman in Congress, and Lewis, a major civil rights leader, have both broken down political barriers, and they are set to make history again as they help Clinton become the first female nominee of a major political party.

1. It is right and fit

that these two nominate our candidate!

2. We'll see it when it happens.

I was thinking before this week's email drama, that the Big Dawg might do it from the NY delegation.

However it happens, I hope it's a healing moment. I was a Hillary supporter in 2008, and I was spitting mad during lots of that convention. I was even mad at Hillary for her role in the nomination! How could she do that to ME?

It didn't take me long to realize that she did it for US. Sanders gets it, and his followers will too.

4. Oh, I wouldn't be in favor of that.

It would look like her husband is giving it to her. No, I prefer it the way it's outlined in the OP.

3. I think you mean Mikulski and Lewis

not Lee.
