Nutter Predicts "Over The Top" Enthusiasm For Clinton Tonight

Mayor Nutter, who backed U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primaries, predicted that her fans will go nuts for her prime time speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.  "I would expect that they will be over the top, enthusiastic and within reason completely out of control," Nutter said.

So what about the expectations that some Clinton supporters won't be able to let go or unwilling to switch allegiances to U.S. Sen. Barack Obama?  Will there be booing or calls for her to fight on?  "You might hear a few of those outbursts," said Nutter, who described Democratic party unity like several people trying to get to one Center City location from a starting point in West Philadelphia via the many possible routes available. "People take different routes to get to different places."

As for the role call vote for Clinton tomorrow night, Nutter told the Associated Press he's still waiting for instructions on how he should proceed.
