Deus Ex Clintonista

posted by on August 27 at 17:15 PM

While Annie Wagner was blogging the roll call vote and Hillary Clinton’s deus ex machina, I was running around the floor shooting some pictures.

Some people, like Seattle mayor Greg Nickels, kept a close eye on the roll call count as it was happening.

Others waited patiently.

And then Clinton swept in from the wings, interrupted the count, and moved to nominate Obama by acclamation. The crowd exploded, “Love Train” began blasting out of the convention hall speakers…

…and just about everyone was up out of their seats dancing, shouting, and singing along.

Nothing says "I take the democratic process seriously" like a red, white and blue sequined suit and matching top hat.

Just as a note, the woman standing to the right of Mayor Nickles is State Senator Rosa Franklin from Tacoma.
