KGMB reporter Keahi Tucker caught up with Kelly Hu & Daniel Dae Kim at the Pepsi Convention Center following Joe Biden’s speech.
“The stars have come out in Denver.
People have spotted Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, comedians Seth Meyers and Sarah Silverman.
Ashanti performed at a local club. Oscar award winning actor Richard
Dreyfuss even made an appearance live on our sunrise program.
Local-born actress Kelly Hu and current resident Daniel Dae Kim spoke with Keahi.”
Tammy Duckworth, Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and former Democratic candidate for Congress, will lead off the final hour of tonight’s Democratic National Convention program, speaking about military policy and veterans care.
Thai American Duckworth graduated from McKinley High School in Honolulu, the same alma mater of Sen. Dan Inouye, and also from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.
Duckworth lost both of her legs in November 2004 due to injuries she suffered when the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting north of Baghdad was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade hit the cockpit.
In a widely anticipated procedural move initiated by Sen. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama was minutes ago nominated by the delegates of the Democratic National Convention to be the party’s nominee for President of the United States.
The motion followed a roll call in alphabetical order of our states up to New Mexico, at which point, New Mexico yielded the floor to Illinois, which in turn yielded the floor to New York and Sen. Clinton’s motion to approve Sen. Obama as our nominee by acclamation.
"Sen. Barack Obama accepts the nomination," said Speaker Pelosi.
Listen to Ramey Ko’s moblog post right below as he calls in while the nomination was being brought to close.
Hawaii teacher Maya Soetoro-Ng took center stage yesterday at the
Democratic National Convention, making the transition to sought-after
political speaker.
Sen. Barack Obama’s half sister profiled him for the party faithful at
the Pepsi Center, saying his strength was derived from their mother,
Stanley Ann Dunham.
From her, she said, they learned that "with a little imagination, we
could dream the improbable, that through hard work, we could accomplish
the extraordinary."
"It’s an honor to be here tonight, and it’s been an honor to meet so many of you across this country and hear your stories.
Tonight, I want to share my story about growing up with my big brother,
Barack Obama, a truly hard act to follow. When we were young, our
family didn’t have much in the way of wealth, but what we did have was
far more important. We had people who made us believe that with a
little imagination, we could dream the improbable; that through hard
work, we could accomplish the extraordinary; that through the power of
education, we could propel ourselves to a future far more promising
than our circumstances led us to expect." Continue reading "2008
