Hillary Clinton wowed the crowd in the Pepsi Center. Her speech focused on the need for the Democratic Party to unify behind it's candidate, Barack Obama. The appreciation she received from the crowd was tremendous . There was a standing ovation that must have been at least two or three minutes long before she ever began to speak. And she embraced every second of it. No one really knew what to expect from Mrs. Clinton on this night, due to the continuing friction between the Clinton and Obama camps. But she was outstanding in pointing out the differences between the democratic and republican parties. She spoke on the failures of the present Bush administration and how a vote for Senator McCain would be a continuation of those same failed policies. She encouraged all those who voted for her in the primary to look at the similarities between her and Barack Obama and urged her supporters to do what she will do; support Barack Obama for President. Overall, the speech helped to heal some of the wounds caused by a heated primary contest for the democratic nomination. I think it will do wonders for the Democratic Party and move everyone in a more positive and unified direction. It was an absolutely incredible experience!

I was so proud of my state, North Carolina, they were the most spirited delegation! In fact, they became a CNN favorite after that night.
