This is amazing. Historic.

I told my daughter to get off work early so we can enjoy this historic moment today.

...Americans Abroad delegation, sounds just like him. That turned on the waterworks for me.

I am not, in any way, wanting to take away anything from the awesome history of what is happening right now, so I hope I have not. I envy Bernie having a brother later in life. My own brother died when he was only 23, and it was just the two of us. I am now 65, and I still miss him.

...since she graciously called for Obama's nomination by acclamation, and more than 200 years for a woman nominee AND a woman President.

Next stop - election day!

I supported Bernie but am as proud as can be that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Party's nominee for PotUS.

nominate the first woman Presidential candidate... and in a few months, the first President.

102 years.

Born in 1914, she grew up in a time when women weren't allowed to vote, and now

she will see a woman become President.

I can't believe I've lived to see this day.

I just can't believe it. I hoped for it but wasn't sure it'd actually happen in my lifetime.

I'm pleasantly surprised that this historic day is actually getting media attention for what it is - a VERY historic day. Nice they finally got around to it.
