Ed Flynn: Did the 1964 Convention pave way for Obama?

Like the time in late August 1964 when I attended the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City.

I was there by virtue of my press credentials, not as a delegate, but like most of those who crowded into what was then the Atlantic City Convention Center I failed to recognize what would eventually become a history-making event at that convention, an event which it can be said has now culminated with the nomination of Barack Obama as the Democratic standard bearer in Denver.

The original convention center is located next to Trump Plaza on the Boardwalk and is now known as Boardwalk Hall.
