Various of Kennedy leaving podium, waving to crowd\u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats opened their convention on Monday to anoint Barack Obama as the first black presidential candidate for a major US party, setting in motion a four-day political festival that seeks to heal wounds opened in a bruising primary battle and reassure voters still wary of putting a political newcomer in the White House.\u003cbr/\u003eObama needs a jolt to his campaign after Republican rival John McCain wiped out his lead in the polls despite a widespread desire for change in an era of economic uncertainty, continuing conflict in Iraq and poor approval ratings for Republican President George W. Bush.\u003cbr/\u003eThe party sought to use opening night to reintroduce Obama, with an emotion-filled appeal to the party's rank and file by one of the party's beloved figures, the ailing Senator Edward M. Kennedy.\u003cbr/\u003eThe appearance of Kennedy, the scion of a liberal political dynasty, had been in doubt because he is being treated for a malignant brain tumour. \u003cbr/\u003eBut, in a strong voice, he told delegates : \"I have come here tonight to stand with you, to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals and to elect Barack Obama President of the United States.\" \u003cbr/\u003eObama's wife, Michelle, was the evening's featured speaker, casting herself and husband Barack as people guided by bedrock American values.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We want our children - and all children in this nation - to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them,\" she said in excerpts released in advance of her appearance.\u003cbr/\u003eBehind the scenes, Obama's representatives reached an agreement with former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp to allow delegates to vote for either candidate in the roll call vote that will seal the nomination for Obama.\u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats wanted to avoid a divisive roll call while giving Clinton supporters a limited chance to express their support.\u003cbr/\u003eThough Clinton has asked her supporters to back Obama, a new poll showed 30 percent of her backers would not. \u003cbr/\u003eThe leader in the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praised Clinton, but acknowledged that her fellow Democrats had not yet achieved complete reconciliation.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This week is the culmination of an historic race that has brought millions of voters to the polls, many voting for the first time,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"All Democrats salute Hillary (Rodham) Clinton for her excellent campaign.\"\u003cbr/\u003eObama stunned the US political establishment by defeating Clinton, the most powerful name in Democratic politics, during a drawn-out primary campaign. He shattered fundraising records as he ran on a message of hope and change.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator, has struggled to win the support of white working-class voters, many of whom supported Clinton and could be pivotal in the November election. \u003cbr/\u003eSome doubt that he has the experience to lead the nation. He has also had to fend off challenges to his patriotism and rumours that he is a Muslim.\u003cbr/\u003eObama also is battling attacks by McCain, who questions the relative newcomer's national security credentials and is critical of his opposition to offshore oil drilling at a time of record-high gasoline prices.\u003cbr/\u003eObama's campaign has become more aggressive, however, and on Monday unleashed a mocking ad that links McCain with Bush and failed economic policies. The musical commercial underscored a desire by party leaders to use the convention to skewer McCain even as it seeks unity in the Democratic family.\u003cbr/\u003eObama also announced this weekend his choice of Joe Biden, a veteran senator and aggressive campaigner ready to take on McCain despite their decades-long friendship.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the choice of Biden may have exacerbated tensions with Clinton supporters, many of whom had hoped she would become Obama's running mate.\u003cbr/\u003eThe efforts to heal divisions has added drama to a carefully staged event.\u003cbr/\u003eUS political party conventions once featured the possibility of numerous roll call votes for more than one presidential nominee and intense\u003cbr/\u003especulation about running mates. \u003cbr/\u003eNow both nominees are known well before the opening gavel, and parties use their days in the spotlight to showcase their candidates.\u003cbr/\u003eObama will accept his nomination on Thursday night in a speech to 75,000 in an outdoor sports stadium. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said on Monday he would use the speech to help voters understand what he planned to do to improve the economy.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Republicans hold their convention next week in St. Paul, Minnesota. \u003cbr/\u003eMcCain has begun a busy week of low-key events, and has tempered his rhetoric somewhat.  \u003cbr/\u003eOn Monday, he called Obama his \"very honorable opponent.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
