Regardless of your political ideals, it’s pretty f’n cool that one of the two major parties in the Unisted States has FINALLY (and now, officially) nominated a Black presidential candidate. Oh, and he secured the nomination when his opponent — a WOMAN — asked for the roll call to halt in favor of an acclimation vote on the convention floor. All the day after the 88th anniversary of women’s suffrage and on the eve of the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech…

Update (8/28/08): Oh yeah, he accepted the nomination.
