Unfolding Drama

So the whip who told me CA would go last was wrong, or probably not
wrong, but just preserving the great deal that had been worked out? Or
perhaps CA was in the dark about what New Mexico, Illinois and New
York had planned.

When I realized what was happening, when I saw that Hillary was about
to speak, I thought she was going to cast all of the votes for NY for
Obama. That alone would have been dramatic.

Then she did the truly unanticipated, ending the roll call and
proposing that Obama be declared the nominee, and in that gracious and
generous act she knit us tightly together as democrats as only she
could.

The drama has been breathtaking. I don't know how it looks on TV but
here inside the Pepsi Center, it was magic.

not to be a downer - bc im sure it was incredibly moving - but its been all over the news the past couple days that this was a preconceived plan reached between the clinton and obama parties, so that clinton would be able to have her symbolic votes, and then she would be the one to lead the way to unity...

good move, nonetheless...
