Clinton Moves for Obama Nomination by Acclamation

ABC News' Teddy Davis reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., formally received the Democratic Party's presidential nod Wednesday evening, becoming the first African-American in U.S. history to be nominated for president by a major party.
In a tightly choreographed move orchestrated by the Obama and Clinton camps, the Illinois senator became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee when Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., asked the delegates attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo., to make Obama the nominee by acclamation.
"Let's declare together in one voice right here, right now that Barack Obama is our candidate and he will be our president," said Clinton.
Obama's nomination became official at 6:48 p.m. ET when Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House and permanent convention chair, said, "Two-thirds of the delegates having voted in the affirmative, the motion is adopted."
Clinton joined the New York delegation on the floor of the convention when the roll call of the states stood at 1549.5 votes for Obama and 341.5 for Clinton.

They may all be feeling the love at the Convention now, but behind the scenes top Dems worried about NO BUMP after announcing Biden, NO BUMP after the first 2 days of convention....still a dead heat tie in a no brainer Dem year.
Big concern....get used to it...Bozo is going down.
HILL SUPPORTER 4 McCAIN

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
-Isaiah 54:17
No matter what your evil hearts say or o to attempt to block O from doing what God has called him to do, you will fail.
We are ready to fight, and no matter what your hateful hearts have in mind, we come prepared.
"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18
Bring it on, Devil

Why is this news, didn't we already go through this "historic" hogwash before? I am sick of this making history stuff; people are so lost in that aspect that they are not realizing that Obama is the worst candidate for President in history.
I am sorry, but I thought Pelosi was trying to say: "...Two thirds of the delegates having voted in the affirmative action...."
because that is exactly what this charade is.

It is so unfortunate that that guy, Wright, was so RIGHT about racism in our goverment, in our country being still so strong. He harshly spoke the truth and it ticked so many people off because the racists are taken off their white sheets and hoods in droves to stand prevent Barrack from becoming a president. I guess they feel it is a "whites only" sign at the White House.

when I see Obama's slimy mug now, I just get chills down my spine. It is a feeling of unmistakable cold. I know now that I am looking in the face of pure unadulterated evil.
It shames me as an American and human being that such evil is allowed to take such power. How have we come to this? Will God save us from this man?

decentamerican, are you kidding me? He is more of church going Christian than McBush, who cheated on his first wife while she was trying to recover from an accident! McCain is the Anti-Christ.
