Reaction from the Big Tent to Hillary putting Obama into nomination...
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 06:53 PM by Elad
was electric. The place went crazy. It's been so loud and crazy in here all day, and when Hillary took the microphone and started speaking, everyone got hushed. When she started the motion to nominate Obama, the whole place cheered and screamed.

When Nancy Pelosi asked if there were any seconds to the motion, the whole place screamed, "YES!" even though we're blocks away from the Pepsi Center! When Pelosi asked for the "AYES", the entire place shouted with the convention-goers.

It was awesome.

Great, classy move to have Illinois yield to New York and let Hillary put him into nomination. The Democratic Party just nominated the first African American for President. I have goose bumps.

6. Class act.
All those who have savaged Hillary here for the last two weeks should take note: she set the standard higher than any losing candidate in political history today. Magnanimous beyond what ever was required.

Thanks, Elad, for your eye witness report.

Lets hope DUers who still seek to divide get the message and jump on the unity bus. Last one on is a rotten egg!

14. Political theatre at it's finest
And surely, that little stunt (and it was a stunt, albeit a classy and engaging one) must now shut up those who claim Hillary hasn't done enough for Obama.
