++I love roll call votes. This was not exception. The Northern Mariana Islands cast their first ballots ever at the Democratic convention. New Mexico had its first Indian chairwomen. Democrats Abroad let Bernie Sanders' brother from London cast his vote for his brother. And Vermont passed to end the roll call and cast their votes for Sanders who then got up to move the nomination by acclamation.
++Hillary had about 900+ more delegates than Sanders. And even with the DNC emails leaked it would be hard-pressed to say this wasn't a democratic election. I would think however the new rules change about super delegates might prompt more chaos in the future.
++Sanders did the right thing and he leveraged his candidacy for the most progressive platform in the party's history. I can see how Sanders' supporters may thing he should have the say on the vice-presidency.
++But from America Samoa to the Virgin Islands,it was nice to see a great custom revived. Sorry the Republicans didn't do the same.
