39. Stark Contrast From the Republicans

Hopefully millions of undecided voters watched and contrasted it with what happened at the Republican Convention. It was the most emotional night of any National Convention that I ever seen and I've been watching them since 1964. It made me proud to be a Democrat. Today is tomorrow's yesterday, what we do today determines our tomorrows. We either move forward or go back and we're not going back.
