He actually said that Obama will shut down Guantanamo Bay.
Classic..."before he ever debates Barack Obama, John McCain should finish the debate with himself."
"Who can we trust to make America safe?"
John Kerry is stealing the show...Bill Clinton's speech was good but John Kerry is just unexpectedly great.
This theme was continued by the first 3 star women general, Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, US Army (Ret.).
I'll do a whole Veteran's post later.

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Democrats Wednesday officially nominated Barack Obama to be their candidate for president.
Sen. Hillary Clinton asked to cut the roll call short saying, "With eyes firmly fixed on the future, and in the spirit of unity with the goal of victory, with faith in our party and our country, let's declare together with one voice right here, right now that Barack Obama is our candidate and he will be our president," she said.
Delegates then affirmed Obama as their choice with cheers.
Clinton and Obama were on the ballot at the party convention on Wednesday.
The states announced their votes in alphabetical order. The voting was to continue until a candidate received 2,210 delegates -- the threshold needed to secure the nomination.
While most delegates cast their votes for Obama, some were voting for Clinton.
