LIVE from Denver: Goosebump time

Joe Biden just made a brief appearance from the upper gallery.

I don't know why he showed up, but I felt confident and proud to see him. I think he is a great addition to the ticket. Strange as it may sound, I feel like Biden helps unify the party and brings some much-needed balance to the ticket. When word got around that he was in the upper gallery, people went wild here on the floor.

And when that ended, Caroline Kennedy gave a great speech in tribute to her uncle, and in tribute to Barack Obama.

Then Ted Kennedy came out to speak, and he was in great form. He promised in as determined a manner as I've seen, that he will be at the inauguration.

This has been beyond what I expected - and I had high expectations coming in.

This is awesome!!
