Footage from the DNC floor- posted by Shawn

Note from Shawn:

If you can hang with this video for at lease a minute, you can see what it's like on the floor, and see why the fire marshall had to shut it down for a while last night. The floor was extra packed because of Sen. Clinton's surprise announcement but the hall is only about half full right now. Just take a look at how jammed the walkways are. The entrance is right at the CNN booth so you see the usual cast of characters.
