Hillary Bites the Bullet in Denver, Colorado

The Democratic Convention is certainly playing up to all the hype that this unprecedented Presidential Election has generated.

On Monday night, Michelle Obama played the dutiful wife perfectly suited for any white working class family in Middle America, who still see the Obama’s as “not like them.”

On Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton, former presidential candidate and keynote speaker at the Democratic Convention was still considered an unknown quantity when it came to her support for Barack Obama, but she enthusiastically threw her support behind the Illinois Senator. After a bruising primary, Obama confidants were unsure whether Hillary would make a heart felt effort to convince her reluctant supporters to back Obama in this close election, but she came through in the end.

History was made on Wednesday night when Senator Barack Obama became the first black nominee for President. In a well choreographed piece of theatre, Senator Hillary Clinton, speaking from the convention floor, provided Obama with the delegate count necessary to win the Democratic nomination.
