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."

“adulterer “?
Man o man goldstate,
What about pedophile?
The alleged sexual assaults?
The lies to the country about Monica, etc?
“Ima throwup now.”
Me and thee....all I can say is if hillary is elected all the female interns in the White House should quit before 20 Jan 2017.
He loves her soooooo much...and then cheats on her hundreds or thousands of times during their “marriage.”
Yeah, sure.
Thanks!
....and I met many on Pedo Island
It must have been puppy love.
Arf arf arf!
Good one! LOL
I couldn’t agree more. Did you see the adoring faces featured in the audience during his speech? What a gullible bunch of idiots to believe anything this (”I did not have sex with that....”) man says. Sheesh!
LOL!
That’s not cheating, she’s not interested in his “gifts.”
When I met my wife...I asked myself the same thing about her...and I am sure maddow would find it shocking a weird that I would have heterosexual feelings about an attractive woman...because you know...that's not feminist enough...
That is the problem Bill. She never quit on you when she should have quit on you dozens of times. That means the relationship was never about you.
Read Crisis of Character. He is az sleeze.
What chutzpah!!
Telling a “love story” with a woman he cheated on multiple times and probably still doing it. And the all the saps at the DNC bought it even though they knew it’s a lie.
What mass psychological disease is this?
Neither does the delusion of the saps who buy his lies, KNOWING THAT HE’S LYING.
