Wednesday - Night

Last night's convention was again electric. The excitment started with the roll call, that not even Hollywood could script. What started out as somewhat of a controversy, ended on an unexpected and excited suspension of rules. Midway through what appeared to be a ceremonial roll call, Nebraska yeilded the floor to Illinois, which then yeilded to New York. At that time New York was called upon for its votes. Hillary then called for Barack to be approved by acclamation. Her motion passed with a roaring "aye". I'm not sure if that's happened before, but it was awesome to be there to participate.

I was so proud to hear President Clinton give such a strong speech on his support for Barack Obama. Although, it was almost like a Mad Lib where all the phrases he needed to say were inserted throughout, I thought he did a awesome job. The crowd in the arena was unstoppable in its applause and excitement upon his arrival on stage. I also noticed he was very shakey. It could have been because he dumped his planned speech on foreign policy, for the nicely blended speech he gave.

The highlight of the night however was Barack's suprise appearance following Biden's great speech. If you missed it, the clip is below.
