Clinton Stops Roll Call, Calls To Nominate Obama - 2008

I keep thinking about this moment a lot lately.
Just thinking about this moment from 2008 keeps bringing tears to my eyes (just like the moment it happened) and I want a moment like this again this year.
I'm hoping that Senator Sanders is going to be the truly great Statesman that then Senator Clinton was when she did this.
This kind of action is why she was a great Sec. of State too.

THAT is a demonstration of grace, class, and strength-of-character.

How fitting for her to be Madam President now.

He'll call down thunder and lightning from the skies...the sacred sparrow will enter the convention hall and alight on the podium...the sea of delegates will part before him, and then, having witnessed these signs, nominate him by acclaim.

She rose to the occasion as usual. Whether we see such a classy move this year remains to be seen.

to ruin our convention.

Having this convention in my city and attending the big speech at the stadium was a highlight of my life. Bernie Sanders and "his people" wants to make it hell

Thanks you for sharing it here TeamPooka.

An amazing moment.

I share your hope that Senator Sanders will do something very similar.

We need unity.
