The Democratic National Convention was a celebration where the historic nomination of Senator Barack Obama for president of the United States forged a new party unity .
The candidate was more than eloquent on the closing night in telling his story, responding to the criticism and challenges of his rival’s campaign, and presenting concrete measures to implement his vision. It is also worth noting that Obama put the election into perspective by affirming that the electoral process is not about him, but rather about the voters who are the main protagonists of this election.
It also became clear that Obama’s call for change does not only refer to removing the Republican Administration from the White House, but also to a deeper transformation within the party itself. Candidate Obama, with his background and his vision, brings to the Democrats a bipartisan tone more tolerant of other points of view.
The Democratic Party left Denver energized and more diverse in colors, ideas, and approaches. The National Convention established the party as an unquestionable political option for addressing the uncertainties of the 21st century in a manner both pragmatic and humane.
The circumstances of these times led Obama to make history as the first African-American presidential candidate from a major political party. He is the right person for this moment and his nomination demostrates the Democrats’ maturity in offering us a new and different leader to tackle our troubled times. In November, it will be up to the voters to decide whether to accept this offer.
