"America, hope is making a comeback," she said, alluding to his iconic 2008 campaign on hope. 

"Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it?" she said, receiving huge applause on the second night of the convention. "We're feeling it here in this arena, but it's spreading all across this country we love. A familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for too long. You know what I'm talking about?
