Being on the floor of the Democratic National Convention during the roll call vote this afternoon was amazing. The states were individually reporting their votes for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but Utah did not get its turn. In dramatic fashion, Hillary Clinton appeared and moved that the process cease after two thirds of the states had reported.

Utah superdelegate Helen Langan indicated she was a bit bummed that Utah did not get to report, but she noted that watching the roll call was the best part of the convention so far.

Apollo Pazell, 18, of Copperton, Utah, got to give the seconding speech for Clinton during the roll call.

He told the crowd and the millions watching at home, "I am here because my great grandmother, Kathryn, is a breast cancer survivor who lost her health coverage when her husband died last year. She's 89 years old, and is currently living at home with hospice care because she cannot afford an assisted living facility on Medicare."

He continued, "I am  here because I see our broken health care system through her experience--an experience shared by too many people--and I believe with all my heart that we can and must achieve health care for all--as Hillary says--"no excuses, no exceptions, no one left out!"

Though Pazell has worked extensively for Clinton's campaign in multiple states--running caucuses, phone banking and supervising volunteers--he is not bitter about Obama getting the nomination.
