Senator Rockefeller addresses the convention

Senator Rockefeller, who is the chairman of the Senate's Intelligence Committee, addressed the convention on national security.

Rockefeller said from his seat on the committee he knows first hand there is a serious threat against our nation. And the only person capable of addressing that threat is Senator Barack Obama.

The most moving part in the early hours of the convention was when Senator Hillary Clinton asked that Senator Barack Obama's name be placed in nomination by acclamation.

Third Congressional District delegate Mary Pearl Compton, in her sixth convention, said she has never witnessed such a moving moment.

The convention hall erupted in applause as unity and purposes were clear. A united party dedicated to winning the White House in November.
