I Think We've Found His Secret Agenda

To bring in the soul. Not quite disco, but it's a sign of good things to come:

Barack Obama, claiming a prize never held by a black American, swept to the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday as thousands of national convention delegates stood and cheered his improbable triumph.

Former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the convention delegates to make it unanimous "in the spirit of unity, with the goal of victory." And they did, with a roar.

Competing chants of "Obama" and "Yes we can" floated up from the convention floor as Obama's victory was sealed. [...]

Clinton's call for Obama to be approved by acclamation -- midway through the traditional roll call of the states -- was the culmination of a painstaking agreement worked out between the two camps to present a unified front.

The band played "Love Train" as the delegates celebrated.


The best part, though, was Chuck Schumer's "Woooooo!"--amplified by Clinton's microphone--during the crowd cheer.



5 MINUTES LATER: Oh my lord, is Harry Reid dull.
