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.
