[goodhue]

I think that IL will clinch, after NY goes

[billyoc]

15. I object!

:evilgrin:

[Beaverhausen]

16. I'm listening to Rachel Maddow- she is so excited

she's playing the roll call on her show.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Hillary..... you go girl......bring it home!!!!!

[LSK]

22. HILLARY IS THERE WITH THEM!!!!

[spanone]

35. all the networks went live !!!!!! YAHOOO

[Awsi Dooger]

23. Hillary marching through the crowd reminded me of a prize fight

I've gotta say I liked the roll call better when it used to drift past midnight with every state rambling on and on about all its sports teams and landmarks. There's been some of that tonight but not enough.

[blogslut]

24. There's Hillary in the NY DELEGATION

!!!

[Eurobabe]

25. I don't get this....

The screen says 2210 to NOM, and New York only has 200+ votes, how does this put them over the top? Does she stop the process somehow?

[Muttocracy]

I'm not sure why they didn't go through more small states

though I guess that way Illinois got to bounce it to NY instead of going from NM to NY.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

27. I love it! I'm so happy! GO HILLARY!

[Bluerthanblue]

33. AMEN HILLARY!!!

class in action.

31. Ok, now I'm crying.

[blondeatlast]

32. ANY QUESTIONS? nt

[aquamarina]

40. That was beautiful.

[EFerrari]

Yeah. Why did Chuck Schumer still chant "Hillary" after he heard what she said?

That was a little weird.

But, well done. I wouldn't appoint Chuck the gesture fairy anyway.

She did very well.

[JBoy]

If she had, and even if there were a couple loud "No"s, that's all the media would have played all day.

[kcass1954]

61. What a great moment!

Any of the TV asshats who dispute our unity can shit in my hat!

[beac]

72. Oh no-- really they should poop in their OWN hats.

It's only fair. Your poor hat should not suffer for their assholery! ;)

[Radical Activist]

62. Party divisions? Spin that corporate media a-holes!

[Arkansas Granny]

64. That was beautiful. I'm crying like a baby.

[AZBlue]

69. Me too!

I didn't think I'd cry this much from the vote!

[Why Syzygy]

78. My crying was over pretty quick.

Wow. What a moment.

[AZBlue]

66. "Sen. Obama now Official Democratic Party Nominee for President"

That's what's across the bottom of my screen (C-SPAN).

ISN'T THAT FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!??!?

[EFerrari]

76. I never thought I would see this day.

Maybe we're not as screwn as I thought.

:cry:

[AZBlue]

77. You know, I don't think we are!

Maybe that's why I can't stop crying, LOL!
