Elad's Journal

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.
