(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Hillary Clinton formally released her delegates today to allow them to vote for Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee, CNN reports. The expected move cleared the way for this evening's nomination of Barack Obama. Before the official roll call began, the names of both Clinton and Obama were formally nominated. "I am not telling you what to do," Clinton told supporters earlier in the day, some of whom shouted their displeasure. "You've come here from so many different places having made this journey and feeling in your heart what is right for you to do."
