I am watching the roll call vote at the DNC. So far it's overwhelmingly for Obama and there have been no disturbances. The best part of the process is the wonderful state speeches that proceed the votes. Kansas just voted and said they were the proud capital of wind energy in the USA and the home state of Obama's mama!
Kentuky just cast 24 for Hillary and 36 for Barack Obama. I love this part of the convention because of the grass roots feel. More later.
UPDATE: New Jersey just cast all 127 votes for Obama. More and more states are going unanimous for Obama.
UPDATE: The floor just yielded to New York. Clinton is speaking and she is requesting a unanimous nomination of Obama. She moves that the convention suspend the vote and count all votes, but select Obama by acclimation as the nominee. That's a brave thing for her to do, and she was surrounded by lots of cheering supporters.
