Barack Obama Nominated by Acclamation
Roll Call Suspended and Barack Obama Nominated by Acclamation.
Here is the footage of Hillary Clinton uniting the Democrats, by asking for a suspension of the roll call, and nomination of Barack Obama by acclamation.
From MOMocrats…
Hillary Clinton came out representing New York minutes ago and proclaimed that her state was giving all of their votes to Senator Obama, then she called for an affirmation to suspend the roll call and vote as one body to support Barack Obama as president. Nancy Pelosi asked for a second, there were hundreds, and she asked for a vote, the house roared, and she announced he is the official nominee of the Democratic party. We’ve made history. The first woman Speaker of the House announced it and the first viable woman candidate for president did her duty for the good of the party and the country. Goose bumps…
From The Swamp…
It’s official. Sen. Barack Obama is now formally the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. History has been made in Denver as the senator from Illinois becomes the first African-American to become the official nominee of a major political party.
As planned, Sen. Hillary Clinton, once Obama’s rival for the presidential nomination, asked that the convention stop the roll call and accept Obama as the party’s nominee by acclamation or voice vote. A loud roar of approval went up and Obama was made the nominee.
This is a video of what it is like on the floor of the convention during the roll call vote…
