Hillary Clinton casts her support for Barack Obama Wednesday.

DENVER (CNN) — Democrats Wednesday officially nominated Barack Obama to be their candidate for president, making him the first African-American to lead a major party ticket.

Hillary Clinton asked to cut the roll call short saying, "With eyes firmly fixed on the future, and in the spirit of unity with the goal of victory, with faith in our party and our country, let's declare together
with one voice right here, right now that Barack Obama is our candidate and he will be our president."

Watch: Dems officially nominate Obama

"Is there a second?" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California asked the crowd of more than 4,400 delegates, prompting a roar of approval.

"The motion is adopted," Pelosi said with a broad smile, officially capping a long and hard-fought battle between Obama and Clinton.

Watch: Highlights of the roll call

Delegates then affirmed Obama as their choice with cheers. There were hugs and handshakes as "Love Train" blasted from the arena speakers.

Clinton and Obama were on the ballot at the party convention on Wednesday. The states announced their votes in alphabetical order.

Peter of Oregon   August 27th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

I tuned in today to think that Hillary and Obama supporters would be fighting in the convention center from the way CNN reported on the divide between Democrats.

It turns out CNN was fomenting division where there was none in order to improve their ratings.

CNN you should be apologizing to the American people.

I will be tuning into Fox News tonight because at least they voice their Republican support openly instead of trying to divide the Democratic party through promoting in-fighting when the vast majority of us are intent on moving on and coalescing behind Barack Obama.

catmom   August 27th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

CNN PLEASE POST !!!

Can someone please tell me why it seems that Obama fans, the media and Obama camp feel that Hillary and Bill Clinton have to shore up the Democratic party for Obama? They then turn around and scrutinize every move they make only to criticize them over and over. Shouldn't it be Obama's job to unite the party? Isn't it Obama and Biden's job to win this election?
Hillary Clinton has done her part and did it quite well. Ever since it was announced that Bill Clinton would speak we have heard from the talking heads how upset he was with Obama and his camp. I know after his speech the pundits will be all over the place telling us how Bill Clinton's body language shows he was not sincere and how angry he is. Get over it . Obama is the nominee and HE is the who has to get the votes.

Hillary's mother must be pinching herself with the realization her daughter also made history. Hillary redeemed herself and has actually catapulted herself as a leader in the Democrat Party. I know she has experienced the ultimate in loss and hopefully is compartmentalizing her feelings about losing the nomination. Anyone who gave as much as she gave in her run would be crushed as losing. But she has shown true leadership in her actions at the convention. She made the motion to nominate and that put the icing on the cake. Congratulations Hillary.

This truly is historical and for all of you who have posted here, please go to your local Obama office, or contact one if you don't have one near you, and volunteer. Words here on CNN's boards are good but action is much better. We NEED to win this election or the USA is as good as dust.

For god sake, now that McSenile campaign is officially running ads trying to drive a wedge between dems, is it so hard to believe some of them are here and leave message as a Hillary supporter.

This is a great day to be an American!!! I am a African American male with tears in my eyes from watching this event. I was not a Hilary supporter, but hey after last night and the deal that she has done today, I can honestly say that I have a new respect for Ms Hilary Rodham Clinton. That speech you gave last night was great, and the deal you did today with the roll call was fabulous!!!

Obama/Biden 08/12

Obama is not just running for president he is putting his life on the line. With the racism in this country his family is giving him to the cause. A greater cause than themselves.

The PUMA-mites and McCain-nites must really be hating this signature moment.

I LOVE IT! Their sorrow and pain is my joy and happiness.

African American   August 27th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

I am an African American woman who LOVES my country and now love it even more. I thank God my Lord and savior for this day, and I thank those Americans who have come around to accepting others regardless of their skin. You have truly demonstrated that you are above and beyond racism and that we can live together in this country in unity. It's all about unity. My 82 year old uncle who served in WWII and who loves this country said this is the best day of his life. He is so happy to see this day. This is a historical day and I can't thank God above enough for his blessings. We are Americans first - we must learn to represent what we stand for and that is a country of freedom, faith, and love for all.

PUMAs I feel your frustrations and I honor you for your deep support for "woman" and HRC. But now is the time to move forward and win this election. PUMAs let's unite tonight.

SAB   August 27th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

I simply can not believe that CNN would ask such a stupid question. Her body language did not reveal any thing. I really can not wait to see if a question like this will be asked when the Republicans have their convention. Your question makes no sense.

joyce   August 27th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

He was selected by a group of people that went against the charter of our party for the first time in it's history.Remember when Obama's people said the convention is two months away the party will be united by then? Well now they are saying November is two months away we will be united by then!PUMA NOW– puma then—we are not voting for McCain we are voting against a corrupt DNC, and biased media, that took away our right to a free and fair election–nothing in our country is more important to protect or preserve than that. See you in November McCain 08

Hillary,

Thank you and I am so very proud of you. I am proud of you and Barack for all your accomplishments during this primary. You truly have proven a lot of people wrong.

Carol Michigan   August 27th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Not really sure the point in all this as Obama was already the nominee but if it makes Hillary's people feel good and this helps unit the party, then all is good.

Those who will be a turn-coat and vote Republican was never a true Democrat at all and not even a good supporter of Hillary if they can not follow her lead.

Mack   August 27th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

As a huge Hillary supporter I would like all people to stop the name calling for just a few minutes and think about the history that was made today. Regardless of how you feel, you just lived during a historic moment in this country. It may not be the history you like, but that part of this countries problem..only ackowledging the history it wants to see. Hillary made history and showed true grace under fire. She will not be forgotten, for it was she that sent the message. So enjoy Hillary's moment in history and enjoy the fact that this country has the courage to finally nominate a black man for the most powerful job in the world. Hillary and Barack together have made history today..so atleast respect both.

Yolanda   August 27th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

To ANY DEM who is still hurting that Hillary is not the nominee for the dem party:

If you have listened closely to speaker after speaker, including Hillary, at the DNC, then you MUST have heard these words:

"IF YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN, YOU"LL ONLY GET MORE OF THE SAME."

More of the same policies that have been hurting us, our economy, our future, our children, and our children's future.

You have every right to vote the way you choose come election time, but vote for the right reason, not because of race, religion, or that your nominee lost.

Hillary is behind Obama. She does not want a Republican in the white house. She does not want "MORE OF THE SAME".

Can this country afford 4 more years of the same?

monica   August 27th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

I come out here to read these and I am always amazed on how some who supported Hillary are so quick to jump ship now that she has no chance at the nomination and vote Mcbush. If you watched the convention last night, particularly HILLARY's speech, she asked were you in this just for me, because all of the things I stood for are the same things that Obama stood for and the reason that you should vote for him.
I would have to wonder if you really think that your behavior would make Hillary proud to be a democrat….even she supports Obama, even if it is grudgingly so she supports him because she realizes that he is better than Mcbush for the leader of this country…I will not beg you to reconsider your decision because quite frankly if you are old enough to vote then you are an adult, but you really need to do you research before you cast your vote, it would be a shame if the wrong man got elected because someone had a problem with the color of the qualified man's skin….

Obama '08

Peter of Oregon   August 27th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

I'm confused CNN… why the paragraphs at the end citing polls from Saturday and Sunday? You even repeated one of the paragraphs twice, for emphasis? Maybe because your polls appeared to favor McCain? CNN I will now start to tune in to Fox News since it seems like they lead and you follow in biased reporting of the news with a Republican favored slant.

Why is this election about sex, race, or religion? The only history that will be made is that in four years people will have regret for electing Obama!

Kathy   August 27th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Nancy Pelosi is adorable, but vicious. She played
"dirty politics" by orchestrating with Dean, Brazile and other party leaders to make sure Senator Hillary Clinton did not get nominated.

I don't think she could stand the idea of Hillary Clinton being above her in command. But she wasn't alone, neither could the "MALE" macho pigs that think they are superior to women.

Fall- in- line to an inexperienced egotistical guy who is only interested in himself and "blackpower". I don't think so. What do we have now Affirmative Action for the Presidency? He played the race card well.

Lynne, Maryland   August 27th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Someone made the comment that McCain was born in Panama and was not a US citizen by their thoughts. Uhm, news flash. McCain was born of an American Serviceman in Panama. That is a US Serviceman serving to protect your rights and to protect this country. Any child born outside te United States of an American Serviceman is automatically considered a US citizen born abroad of American parents.

As for the rest of the election. It is going to be ugly. Personally, I am happy Clinton is not the nominee. I didn't care for her and her attitude while she was first lady, I didn't like her attitude as a senator when she was listening to speeches by President Bush and personally, I think she would rather see Barack Obama drop off the face of the earth than to actually and truly, support him in this campaign.

Given the feelings between the dems and republican voters at this point and the division of the country, it wouldn't surprise me if there are a number of security problems before and through November.

CHALON ROSS   August 27th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

annie   August 27th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

This is a historic moment in our history - the first white & arab/kenyan to to be selected the nominee by the dem party. It is a shame however, that it was not an African/American or a woman.

If BO can possibly doing a good job - it is easier said than done- who else could be nominated in 2012 by the …dam? Yesterday a dam delegate said something like this no one stupid enough to hire a person who just graduated from college to be a CEO, even from Harvard. Well, in a blind country, the one-eye will be king.

I am a Democrat in every sense of the word…. My support is now to Obama. Senator Clinton did a wonderful job in handing over her support and I am now willingly and openly supporting the Obama/Biden ticket! My only other option is to "not vote" at all and that is something I would find difficult to do.

Even in victory the Obamans are full of venom. McCain is thrilled that you've chosen to give him the WH. Many of you will suffer greatly under his administration. I hope you don't blame everyone else but yourselves when Obama loses. Every Democrat in the country still doesn't make a victory. It will be Obama's lack of broad support that dooms him. McCain will benefit from being a default candidate. Too bad the Democratic party wasn't smart enough to nominate a winner. I guess it's three terms of Republican rule to get two good terms of Clinton all over again. Time to revise your long term finances. 2012 - 2020 will be rockin'.

What a moment, what a time. This should be a proud day for all Americans and for all people around the World. You have broken the chain that bounds people of color. You have proven to the World that American's can look beyond skin color and give this man a change to become the Presidet of t USA. I am forever moved. No matter what happen from now on people of America will never be the same. Barack will be the next President of the USA and he will do all in his POWERS and MIGHT to work for AMERiCa and the people of the World. He cannot afford not to, he has been given too much and he knows it. OBAMA KNOWS IT….TRUST ME HE HIS ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS HONOR.

this was a mistake - you can clearly see from this convention that this is not the best person to put up right now. if the economy is everyone's number one issue - then how did McCain or Obama end up our choices? No wonder the founding fathers didn't find us capable of governing ourselves! Look what the intellectually challenged have done again to this country! yuck…

Joseph   August 27th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

What do you think the chances are that some of the PUMAs are actually republican operatives trying to stir things up?

Nah, silly me, that could NEVER happen. Politics is always above board in the US, particularly on anonymous message boards.

Frank Musinsky   August 27th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Candy Crowley, an excellent journalist, nevertheless loves to use the word "fulsome" in describing the nature of Bill Clinton's upcoming priaise of Barack Obama in his speech tonight. The word "fulsome", while it used to mean "generous", is now most used to mean "generally offensive" and "overdone" and "overly effusive".

It would be good if someone gave her a gentle nudge to find an adjective less fulsome than the one she is presently using about Clinton's apprach toward Obama tonight. [Or doe she know what she is talking about ?!]

I refer Ms Crowley to the following descriptions:

This first born's democratic nomination has taken a kick really out of us all [Democrats] to the chargrin of the neo-cons. But in the end we buried the hatchet, just when the Republicans thought family blood will spill.

Surprise! Surprise!! Republicans….we got news for you: Its gonna be a first black man in 2008. In 2012 or 2016 its defintely gonna be the first Woman American President!! This is the Change we Believe, and Yes we Can!…say bye-bye to the GOOD 'OLE BOYS days.

See you in the election booth later fellow Americans, my great grand parent's bones in the Grave will wake and vote come November 08- for CHANGE.

If he and / or the DNC had the guts to acknowledge Florida and Michigan you think this joker would still be the nominee ???

I am happy for Mr. Obama but he does not excite me. I am a disappointed Hillary supporter and I think I will sit out this election.

PS~to "Hillary Hillary Hillary"-I applaud your willingness to support the party in face of what must be huge disappointment that your candidate did not win. Thank you, and the rest of you PUMAs who are still petulantly resolving to vote for McCain should be ashamed of yourselves.

jsg   August 27th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Wonderful and historical night!

Why did Candy Crowley have to say "half blalck/half white"? Senator Obama is African-American, he chooses to be so, the country believes him to be so. Don't get any more opinions from Crowley, she is such a foot in mouth candidate.

Mark   August 27th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

How about he is an AMERICAN. Dump the African part. It ain't nessesary to describe him. Hey world we got us an AFRICAN AMERICAN for our President? No. He is an American, just like me and that's enough.

Gail   August 27th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Hillary is a fool, the votes should have been counted.

Linda from Indiana   August 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Now it is time for Obama to do his part. As one pundit said last night, "Hillary has set the table. It is time for Obama to serve the meal." He has to stop expecting Hillary to do it for him. The Clintons deserve every moment of the spotlight they have received at this convention. They are the shining stars of the Democrat party whether Obama fans want to hear it or not. Obama's time is coming. Please all put race issues on both sides behind us and elect a Democratic President in November of 2008.

Jena   August 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

This truly one of the greatest days in history. I am blessed to be living in such a moment. Hillary Clinton has raised the bar for the American people. This is for the so called PUMA's, don't let hatred and bitterness ruin what can be. This is America and we need OBAMA and the CLINTONS!

GO OBAMA & DEMOCRATS WE ARE UNITED!

How can anybody say the Democratic party is joke after THE GREAT WORK BUSH AND HIS IDIOTS DID FOR OUR COUNTRY??

Truth is.. McCain is a JOKE!!
The Republican party is a JOKE!! and all thanks to Bush!!

NO MORE!!!!! NO MCCAIN!!!!!!

Worried Dem   August 27th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

If Obama loses this election, his dumbest move would be not picking Hillary for VP. Joe Biden's okay, but does not have the following that Hillary has. Also, if Obama is playing to win, it was supposed to be a no brainer to pick Hillary for VP in order to get her supporters on board.
Instead, he is showing his pride (in a bad way), and gives a lot of people the impression that he can't handle sharing the spotlight with somebody who is as popular as he is, thus the decision to pick Biden for VP instead.

watch out for GOP bloggers...   August 27th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

The GOP have professional bloggers to do these things. And they are alive and well in the CNN blogisphere. It is obvious. They will play at racism, and every other ism and ist to divide and concur don't fall for it. Don't fall for it.

Susan from Scotts Valley, CA   August 27th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

No Hillary bashing, please. She has really done a lot for women and will continue to do so.

Lets keep positive folks. We have a lot of work to do between now and November. Put your energy into getting Obama elected.

Lets do it! Obama/Biden

NORA, FLORIDA   August 27th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

so much for the body language analysis CNN. CNN please leave Hillary, Obama, and the DEMS alone. We are doing our part. Why don't you all focus on McCain and his slip ups? Like how many houses do he actually have? How he publicaly admitted to the economy not being his strong point. Show him and Ditsy for who they really are!!!!

JS   August 27th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

After Hillary's speech last night the Obama supporters must know in their hearts that they chose the wrong candidate and McCain will probably win in the general election. You have made a huge mistake.

I for one have left the Democratic party and become an Independent. Unless Obama shows that he really is ready for the Presidency with his very limited experience and huge ego I will not be voting for either candidates. They both suck.

Matt   August 27th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Let's overlook this Obama/Hillary sillyness and focus on the face that A TRULY SYMBOLIC event occurred today. A minority for President. That is a truly proud side of humanity and history I want to be on. Go Obama.

Teresa chicago   August 27th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Kleenex please - what a great story. Bush and mc Same should know by now that going with wrong war ,give our country trillions of debt ,allow to over 4000 deaths made them very very guilty

Closely Watching   August 27th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

I have been a steadfast Obama supporter during this process, but in light of what I have just witnessed I can only say~

Bravo Senator Clinton, Bravo. Well done and I can see
now why your supporters have been so reluctant to let
you go!

R   August 27th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

1 thing I'd like to add; How come all these people who say they can't vote for Obama, have no valuable reason why? They can't state real facts, I know the real reason why, but no one wants to say it. Let's face it, racism is alive and well, and its up to us to overcome it. I won't let racism be the reason why my country goes even more backwards. No way, no how, no fake PUMA's who are just Repubs in disguise. Remember they donated to Mccain's campaign twice!

white 49 yr old woman for Obama   August 27th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

For those of you who are not happy with Hillary lnot receiving this nomination, I truly hope that you will get past it. Please remember that your decisions will effect every american and every man, woman and child in the world. Be very careful not to put the wrong man in the white house. MCcain is going to continue the same old politics, aren't you tired of the same old politicians repeating the same behavior and promising diferent results? please vote for Obama and watch him bring change to Washington and the world!

Peeps   August 27th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Thank you Democrats! We Republicans were worried that you may end up nominating Clinton…who would win in a landslide. Now, you have made McCain the President Elect! Thanks again.

JO   August 27th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

The way to go Stacy !!

McCain 2008

Jeff in Illinois   August 27th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Obama and McCain are not the only options. In fact, real change would involve getting rid of both of these two parties.

26th Letter   August 27th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Why do people keep referring to the significance of this moment by comparing it to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement? Black people are crying tears of joy right now because this has been a bloody road we've traveled for over 400 years. It didnt begin in the 50s and 60s it began when the first slave ship arrived on this land carrying our people as its precious cargo. This moment is precious to us because it demonstrates that Hope and Faith was and is never in vain. I am proud to be an American in this moment but I am even more proud to be a Black American who has be given the opportunity to bare witness to a moment I struggled to believe could be possible.

Let's exchange Hate for Love and replace Fear with Hope!

Barack/Biden in 2008 its more then two men leading the Nation, it's a movement to change the world for the better!!

Ex-Puma Comin Home   August 27th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Wake Up America..It's Not Too Late!!!!

arnolde   August 27th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Interesting: this must be the first convention you've ever followed. I've never known the nominees in the last few years come to the convention before the 3rd night.

R   August 27th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Let's all be frank here; The people who say they will never vote for Obama, are really just people who can't fathom the fact that it is possible for someone other than a white MAN to run our country. Plain and simple. Half of these comments are by republican plants trying to divide the party. Hillary lost, ran a bad campaign. Let's also consider how many voters did Hillary lose after they voted for her? Quite a few changed their mind when they saw how desperate her tactics were. So if there's a few hundred, maybe few thousand that don't fall in line, well they were never for the party themselves. They act like Obama's the messiah, Hillary is the one who can make these people so brainwashed that they'll go against their own moral values to prove a point? Scuse' me, but my country isn't something you can just vote around and let go for something petty like losing! I won't let that happen, and neither should us REAL DEMOCRATS. Don't forget 18 million voters, which more than 70% already fell in like, that's 12.6 million who have a clue who to vote for! All this hype is made up by the media to keep the news "infotainment" don't believe the hype!

John   August 27th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

The anti-Obama democrats just justify why so many people feel that democrats are a big joke. Grow up babies.

Tom in VA   August 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Wait a minute, Hillary '12 supporters…if Barack is not ready to lead yet, do you not think he'd be ready in '12? How many years constitutes "ready"? You act like it'd be a done deal for her then - you forget about Barack, you forget about Mark Warner, and you forget about 18 million people who did NOT vote for her in this primary. I applaud and welcome the Hillary supporters who have come on board, but I think the rest of you are a bunch of idiots.

If you have any lack of clarity on this, you should have seen the young lady on Larry King last night from "Just Say No Deal". I am not sure I have ever seen a bigger moron on television, with absolutely no idea what she was talking about. At the end of the questioning, what it seemed to come down to is she just wanted a hug from Obama supporters. What a loser.

Shannon   August 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

and with that it clinches my decision to vote third party, what a sad day for the Democratic party!

Dready1rasta   August 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

If you're going to vote for McCain then for the love of God DO IT, SIT DOWN, AND SHUT UP! Nobody really CARES!!!!

MikeH   August 27th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Everyone who is a Constitution-loving American Democrat should stop watching CNN and switch over to the BBC, MSNBC, or PBS.

Leave all the ignorant Republican toady trolls, including the 30% of Americans who think Bush is doing a good job, here to post their ignant messages to each other.

The Republican party is irrevocably corrupt, and should be expunged from America. Send them to Myanmar where I'm sure the local Dictatorship will find their skills at corruption useful.

HILLARY IS THE BEST   August 27th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Alright, you all realize that the posts for McCain over Obama "if no Hillary" are not genuine, correct? These are just republicans with nothing better to do. They're trying annoy you and drag out the conversation. Apparently they are succeeding.

If you are smart and if you really stood with Clinton, you will vote for Barack Obama. Because I know for a FACT, that if McCain gets into office, THERE WILL BE NO 2012 FOR ANY OF US!!!!! PUMAs, it is time to come back to earth. Our entire WAY OF LIFE is at stake.

vannucchi   August 27th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

If you like Mrs Clinton so much, do as she asks. Vote for Obama. Prove that she is a great leader, that you are a loyall follower and, most of all, help save america's economy, international image, ecosystem and moral by not extending bush's legacy with Maccain. I know you love this country.

ran   August 27th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

hahaha ! ! ! ! what wrong obama had to have it handed to ! you weren't even sure you could take here out right just as well now they can move on. now you all can go visit the temple of obama as put by DNC. THE TEMPLE OF OBAMA THATS WHAT IT SAID IN THE FLYER THE HANDED OUT AT THE CONVENTION. now that is scary, the fact he calls it his temple. yup he's the devil.

Diane   August 27th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

I am a 48 year old white female and, finally, I have seen something I never thought I would. America has grown up enough to nominate an African-American for president. Now, hopefully, we have grown enough to actually elect him. Obama is by far the best choice for president. I have seen some history over the last few years, this is the one event that actually gives me hope for the future of this country.

Clinton/McCain   August 27th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

BOOOOOOO. A PUMA to the end!!!!

PRAISE GOD! MAYBE NOW WE CAN GET ON TO WHAT'S AT HAND!
I JUST PRAY THE CLINTONS ARE NOT STILL STARVING FOR ATTENTION AND CAN TRULY GET ONBOARD THE UNITY TRAIN TO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH OBAMA AS OR CONDUCTOR!

I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY., VERY GRACIOUS OF OBAMA TO SHARE HIS MOMENT WITH HILLARY AND HER FAMILY AS HE HAS, BUT FROM NOW ON ALL MUST UNDERSTAND IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT HILLARY, SHE NO LONGER HAS SUPPORTERS, YOU ARE EITHER OBAMA'S OR SOMEONE ELSE'S.

ONE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

EITHER YOU ARE WITH US OR YOU ARE AGAINST US AT HIS POINT NO MORE DRAGGING AND BEGGING YOU TO COME ONBOARD!

Ben   August 27th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

As an Obama supporter from the beginning, I would like to personally apologize to Hillary and her supporters for any hurtful comments I made during the primaries. After what she did tonight and last night I have nothing but respect for her. I'm a grown man and the last time I cried was the death of my father, but she had me crying like a baby at this historic moment in history.
OBAMA 08!!!

Rich   August 27th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

The only other time I remembering hearing "Love Train" played at an event like that was for Paul Wellstone's memorial in Minnesota six years ago. Perhaps we are, in parallel, commemorating the death of Democrats this year.

America has won! We are truly the change makers of the world. I am so proud to be able to witness this amazing, incredible and stunning moment in time, as Barack Obama, the first African American gets the nomination for the president of the United States of America! Yes!!
What a great feeling! I congratulate him, his family, every American who is proud of this moment, every African American, and every person, white, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and every other nationality of those who cast a vote to make this moment happen. God bless you America! God bless you! Pride and joy to all! Let us keep going, keep moving until we make history into the white house. God bless us all, everyone!

As an African American man, one who served this country honorably in the military, todays nomination of Barack Obama gave me a since of pride in our democratic processes like never before, today I truly feel that AMERICA is finally ready to turn the page on the injustices that were suffered by the African American people that we can find even in our differences a commonality that is greater than ourselves and greater than this nations past, we now move on to a greater change and prosperity for all americans and not just those who forget how many houses they have.

Proud to be an AMERICAN regardless of the tone of my skin.

If you missed it on TV, it was a cheerful, uniting, and symbolic gesture. Go Hillary I'm very proud of you! Go Obama, you hold the power to truly improve America!
Please don't buy into the media noise that it was 'carefully staged', that Hillary's 'body language' was off, that it was forced, blah blah blah. The talking heads are needlessly fueling a fire for ratings, and it is to the detriment of REAL issues this country faces. Unite for the bigger cause, our country. Let's ignore these silly distractions.
