One of the most widely read blogs in the country, Huffington Post, featured on their front page last night a picture with our Texans for Obama banner. The Texas delegation had great seats for Obama's big speech (just 11 rows back from the podium), and we were able to get our banner on the stadium jumbotron screen twice.
Obama's speech was truly inspiring, and it was a thrill to be a part of history last night. Onward to victory!
In Historic Vote, Obama Officially Claims Democratic Nomination Washington Post
With the weight of history hanging over them, Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Democratic Party formally chose Sen. Barack Obama as the nominee for the White House, elevating the first African American to that exalted post and putting a black man a step from the presidency.
With a theatrical flourish, the roll call vote was rushed to allow Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to suspend the vote and "in the spirit of unity, with the goal of victory," declare Obama the nominee by aclaimation.
"Let's declare with one voice that Barack Obama is our candidate," Clinton said to thunderous applause.
