Video Description:
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama, claiming a prize never held by a black American, swept to the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday as thousands of national convention delegates stood and cheered his improbable triumph.
Former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the convention delegates to make it unanimous "in the spirit of unity, with the goal of victory." And they did, with a roar. Competing chants of "Obama" and "Yes we can" floated up from the convention floor as Obama's victory was sealed. Obama was across
town as the delegates he won in the primaries of winter and spring cast their votes. Inside the convention hall, the outcome of the traditional roll call of the states was never in doubt, only its mechanics. "No matter where we stood at the beginning of this campaign, Democrats stand together to
day," declared Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, a former Clinton supporter who delivered a nominating speech for Obama. "We believe passionately in Barack Obama's message of changing the direction of our country," she said. Earlier in the day, Clinton formally released her delegates amid
shouts of "no," by disappointed supporters. "She doesn't have the right to release us," said Massachusetts delegate Nancy Saboori. "We're not little kids to be told what to do in a half-hour." [ August 27, 2008 ]
