DENVER - The peace treaty between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was "signed" yesterday at 4:48 pm in Denver before an audience in raptures conference with chants of "Yes we can" that echoed in the sports hall. At the Denver convention was going on stage, seemingly bureaucratic, the roll call, the call in alphabetical order of all the state delegations, for the counting of votes. Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona ... But come
New York's turn, here is the sudden turn of events: in a pit of hell in the middle of the parterre, approaches the microphone, the state senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton. That on behalf of his delegation, asking to stop the vote: "With the spirit of unity that distinguishes us, and with the common goal of victory, I propose to suspend the count and name all together, by acclamation Barack Obama as a candidate for president of the United States. "
The room explodes in a roar, and Nancy Pelosi, who chairs the meeting, shall take a vote: a deafening chorus of "Yes" filled the Pepsi Center. Barack Obama is officially the Democratic challenger for the White House. The music starts and all the delegates started to dance, and obamiani Clintonites finally embraced.
the first state to indicate that something big was about to happen was the Arkansas, the land of Bill Clinton - in the primaries where Hillary had swept - in the name of the unit that had given all its 47 votes in the black senator.
And to think that the steps to choose the candidate officially in the past few days had caused the entire leadership of the party a great deal of trouble, because Hillary had claimed it to be put to the vote on the company name, so that its nearly two thousand delegates to demonstrate their strength, and get to a certain extent, the honors of war.
With impeccable formal terms, However, the idea to revive the parterre the challenge of the past months had a serious drawback: to put in place a similar split, and get to the nomination after a grueling and has Obama winning with a handful of votes, would give the party a ' image impossible. So, yesterday afternoon, took Hillary to give the signal to "release all" to his delegates, dissolution of the binding mandate to ensure greater acceptance of Obama.
But this obviously was not enough. So, to 4.48, the former first lady has definitely put an end to the "democratic civil war."
the next few days the polls in recent days have seen alternating in the lead - for very little - Barack Obama and John McCain, say if peace between Hillary and Barack will be accepted by the troops Clinton. If those 18 million voters who chose the New York senator during the Democratic primary in the order of the stable, and entice the young black senator from Illinois to winning the White House.

"McCain - he said - is anything but independent. He says that our economy has made" important progress "with George Bush. He says that the economic fundamentals are solid. And when one of his advisers - he loved talking about the economic strategist Phil Gramm - he spoke of the concerns of Americans did calling them "a frignoni nation "and said that the real problem is" mental recession "and those who live in the crisis that the United States are going through. A nation of frignoni? Tell that to the workers of the factory in Michigan that, although discovered that the factory would close, have continued to go to work because they knew they were the persons on whom the people had. Tell that to the families of our soldiers, who have made three turns in Iraq. frignoni No, I'm the ' America I know. "
Then he told his program: "Let me explain exactly what it will mean change if I become president": independence from Middle East oil in ten years, working to eliminate waste and investing on green energy, tax cuts to middle class and the wealthiest and corporations that bring the work outside of America; level education for all children and financial support to students to pay for college; prevent health insurance can discriminate those who are sick, bring the troops home from Iraq and concentrate in the battle against terrorists in Afghanistan, with the objective to capture Bin Laden. "McCain - he added - he says he will take following him to the gates of hell, sin is not going to look into the caves where you hide."
He had no hesitation, this time made it clear that America can not trust Democrats, the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy, and you can trust him: "I will not hesitate to defend this country and, if necessary, send our troops but with a clear mission and a sacred commitment to give them the equipment referred they need in battle and the care they deserve when they return home. "
With these words he touched the chords of American patriotism, the Democratic audience that has taken up and began to chant in unison: "USA, USA, USA". "I'll be a president - has ended after 44 minutes - which looks to the future and not the past. But remember, this election is not about me but about all of you."
