Democrats made it official tonight in Denver, when party delegates formally nominated Barack Obama as their 2008 presidential candidate -- the first African American ever nominated by a major party.
The traditional state by state roll call went on until about 6:40 pm eastern, just after the network newscasts went on the air on the east coast.
The roll call included several delegates cast to Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose name was formally put into nomination, even though she did not win the primary battle. By previous agreement by the Obama and Clinton camps, the roll call was halted and Obama was nominated by acclamation.
