I'm just an ole hoboclown but I have been known to set my sights on the TV tube to occasionally take in a spectacle.Last night, the 2008 Democratic National Convention was being televised from Denver, Colorado,USA. It was not the proverbial "3:00 a.m. telephone call" but a call nonetheless that gave Hillary Clinton her 'Presidential Moment'. Hillary Clinton made the motion to suspend the
Democratic Convention rules to end the role -call delegate vote and accept Barack Obama ,"by acclamation" as the Democratic Nominee for
the Presidency of the United States.Nancy Pelosi,Democratic Speaker of The House, entertained the motion, had it voted upon with a Yea or Nay vote and the rest is history.
What I, as a humble hoboclown, saw was Hillary Clinton, making another tremendous crack in the glass ceiling of politics, enabling Barack
Obama to be the first african-american nominee of a major political party to run in the general election for the Presidency of the United States.Hillary was presidential at that instant! The political tag team of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi in that historic moment was followed by another political tag team of William Jefferson Clinton, former US President and Senior Delaware Democratic US Senator, Joe Biden, generating rousing support for Barack Obama.What a spectacle!
