Some source tell that Barack Obama delighted and electrified Democrats with a surprise visit on the third day of their national convention - one painted with a remarkable display of unity.
Barack Obama's unexpected star turn came at the end of a night in which party delegates got a full helping of passionate calls to action, red-meat attacks on the opposition and peace gestures between previous rivals.
On a night of high drama, Democrats said the show was unbeatable.
"It's an amazing night," said Kathy Keithly, a Southern California delegate who watched from the floor with tears streaming down her face as Clinton urged Obama's nomination. "We're all coming together."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco - with a smile and barely allowing for any no votes to be shouted - announced Obama as the official party nominee. That sent the convention hall into a frenzy as delegates broke into dancing to the sounds of "Love Train."
Democrats said the Clintons deserved credit for healing the wounds and putting the party on a path looking forward.
Former California Gov. Gray Davis, an early Clinton supporter, said she "ran a great campaign and she was my choice. But now we have a great choice, Barack Obama, and there's too much at stake for American to make the wrong choice."
