Bill Clinton knew the bar was high. The day after his wife and former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton "rocked" the Democratic convention, in the words of Barack Obama, the former president took a turn at the podium to rally the Democratic faithful.
"I'm not so grateful for the chance to speak in the wake of [Hillary's] magnificent address last night," he joked of his wife's rousing reception. "But I'll do my best."
Clinton, who was greeted with thunderous applause, praised his wife saying, he is "proud of the campaign she ran." But he urged Hillary's supporters to back her former rival, saying, ''I want all of you who supported her to vote for Barack Obama in November.''
