So Excited.

I tried to watch all of the DNC before commenting. I couldn’t do it. It is now official. Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee for the Presidency of the United States. Hilary Clinton ended the roll call vote in acclamation for the Illinois senator. Bill Clinton convincingly backed her up by embracing the Obama-Biden ticket and providing validation of why the country will be in safe hands. He also told us why Americans should vote Democratic this fall. Neither Hillary nor Bill left any room for doubt. What few rifts might have remained after Hillary’s speech last night and releasing her delegates today; Bill healed.

Joe Biden’s acceptance speech was even more moving. The reference to his family’s hard times had me, as well as Michelle Obama, in tears. And, watching all the pride on his mother’s face was extremely touching.

The Nominee has never taken the stage before the final night of the convention. Tonight was no ordinary night at the DNC. Barack Obama joined Joe Biden after his V.P. acceptance speech. All eyes will be on Invesco Field tomorrow night. Forty-Five years to the day that Martin Luther King made his “I Have a Dream” speech, Barack Obama will accept the Democratic Nomination.

The most consistent aspect of the Obama campaign from the beginning has been its discipline, and the nominee’s control of his own message is apparent. Thus far, the Denver convention seems to be on that same track.
