Last night the Democrats had a night that will go down in the history books as one of the seminal nights in political history and in the history of this nation. We nominated a person of African-American descent for the highest office in the land. Not only that, but the person who came in just behind him, the first woman to seriously have a shot at the nomination for the Democratic party, cut off the roll call vote and had Obama nominated by acclamation.
It's been a long time coming, but I am very glad that the Democrats were the first to break that glass ceiling. Congratulations, Barack Obama!
