When its all over, and they all meet at the convention

Will Bill and Hillary cast their SD votes for Obama, even though it is purely symbolic?

Or, if your bent the other way, will Obama cast his SD vote for Hillary, even though it is, at that point purely symbolic?


I am curious. What do people think?

On edit, I realized this may be more contentious than the thought in my head. Please keep it clean. I am curious as to the process and the symbolism of it all. In past heated contests, how are these things done? Do they try for a unanimous vote, or just slug it out? Assuming the winner is clear from the start of the convention, do the supporters of the losing side generally come over even though its not technically needed?

1. It's actually a good question in the sense of

how the media may portray it in the short term "I.e. can the party unify behind barack or hillary" Although I bet some smaller but more vociferous Ron Paul voters may give some mischef of their own,at the rethugs convention. Undoubtedly in my view (assuming one candidate or the other concedes before the convention) the loser will cast a super delegate vote for the winner. The loser IS going to be expected by party leadership, and peers (who can influence the loser's political future) to at the very least give a token endorsement of the winning candidate and in that situation (concession before the convention) it would think that simply casting a superdelegate vote (let alone hitting the campaign trail for your winner) would qualify as such

the republic primary. They have super delegates?
