The U.S. Democratic Party has opened its national convention in Denver. The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told delegates on the opening day of the party's national convention her husband will be "an extraordinary president." U.S. Democrats calls for party unity Michelle Obama's speech Monday night in Denver, Colorado was aimed at reassuring skeptical American voters about her and her husband's backgrounds and patriotic feelings. She spoke of their shared working-class upbringing and values, and their public service careers. Michelle Obama said they both believe that all Americans can "contribute to the life of this nation." After her speech, she was joined on stage by the couple's two young daughters, and was saluted by Barack Obama through a video link from Kansas City, Missouri. Another highlight during Monday's events was the surprise appearance of Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, who is battling brain cancer. Kennedy told the crowd the time has come to pass the torch of leadership to Obama - echoing a line from the inaugural speech of his brother, the late President John F. Kennedy. Tuesday's convention schedule includes a long-anticipated speech by New York Senator Hillary Clinton, who lost the nomination to Obama after a long and bitter primary. Some of Clinton's supporters remain upset she lost the nomination, while others are upset Obama did not select her to be his vice-presidential running mate. Polls indicate that a significant number of Clinton supporters will vote for Republican Senator John McCain as president. Earlier Monday, Clinton spoke to a meeting of Hispanic Democrats, and urged party unity. The Clinton campaign has indicated she will release her delegates in a gesture of unity so they may vote for Obama. Michelle Obama praised the former first lady The convention consists of four days of rallies, speeches and meetings, capped by Obama's acceptance speech Thursday at Invesco Field, home of Denver's National Football League franchise. The Republican Party holds its national convention next week in St. Paul, Minnesota. Michelle Obama (Beta)
