Philadelphia (CNN): As
Hillary Clinton playfully batted away an avalanche of balloons Thursday
night, she appeared proud, happy and reconciled to her historic moment.
She
had accepted the Democratic nomination with "humility, determination
and boundless confidence in America's promise," taking her place as the
first woman to lead a major presidential ticket on a night pulsating
with emotion.
"When there are no ceilings," she declared, "the sky's the limit."
She
quickly reached out to disappointed Bernie Sanders voters at the end of
a convention dedicated to healing the deep rift from their contentious
primary race. With the Vermont senator watching from the arena, Clinton
told his supporters: "I've heard you. Your cause is our cause."
