PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- There have been millions of words, decades of video and reams of commentary devoted to the story of Bill and Hillary Clinton. It's been dissected, defended and decried at kitchen tables and on cable news, in tabloids and classrooms.
But on Tuesday night, as millions of voters watched and with the political stakes as high as they've ever been, the former president tried to make sense of it all and make the case for his wife, the newly minted Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
"In the spring of 1971, I met a girl," he began.
The former president's tenth address to a Democratic convention was by far his most personal, a 42-minute tour through wedding proposals and Halloween parties, the deaths of parents and movie marathons.
Perhaps their worst moments - the Monica Lewinsky scandal, impeachment and legal battles that followed - were conspicuously omitted though hinted at.
"She'll never quit on you," he said. "She never quit on me."
Instead, Bill Clinton cast himself as a passenger in his wife's life, reshaping the story of much of their decades in politics.
The goal was to make Clinton, perhaps the most famous female politician in the world, yet a public figure her aides claim remains unknown, relatable to voters. He cast her as a liberal heroine of her own story, who fought for education reform, health care, civil rights, the disabled, 9/11 first responders and economically depressed rural areas.
"She's the best darn change-maker I've ever met in my entire life," he said. "This woman has never been satisfied with the status quo on anything. She always wants to move the ball forward. That is just who she is."

I’ll use his own words....”That’s a FAIRY TALE, man”.
That speech was just nauseating to watch. And Bill Clinton didn’t look that healthy, either.
In 1974 we moved to Arkansas, and 5 years later Hillary and Webb gave us Chelsea.
LOL!
Its the Democrap world...dancing on the beach.
In the spring of 1971, I met a girl, he began.
“I sure hope her and Hillary never meet”
“It was a dark and stormy night ... “
Next Anthony Weiner will do an ode to Huma.
Horseshit. A lying fairy tale meant to give all those women (excuse me, feminists) who are young and single telling them the lie that they can have it all. Child, if they want it - or not, a loving ‘friend and equal’ partner to float through life with, a career, happy home life - political action, progressivism and all that nonsense.
You have what you make - people like that letch and the foul hag he hooked up with can’t give you anything but lies.
Watch Maddow, in her deepest man-voice. She either says Bubba’s speech was ‘shocking and weird” or “shocking and rude”.

Where was the BARF! alert???
Yup, the model wife and the model husband? Bleeeeeeeach.
They had Chelsea so they’d appear to be a “normal” couple. Bill actually instantally loved Chelsea but Hillary displayed no maternal instincts.
According to Dolly Kyle Browning who has known Bill since childhood the Clinton marriage is based on Hillary’s drill sargent personality that mirrors the woman who raised him during his first 5 years - his maternal grandmother. Hillary was a younger version of the main woman from his childhood - “The Warden” was his name for her. They say men frequently marry their mothers...he married his grandmother.
The book, The Other Woman, is really quite interesting and credible.
“Love story”? More like a fairy tale.
