The Unconventional Convention -- Day 2


ICYMI, day two had many of the surprising and touching moments we saw on day one, with voices of everyday people and a too- short keynote from rising Democratic stars.  The epic roll call vote is a must- see (if you have 34 minutes).  But, for our money, following Michelle Obama's tour de force the night before, it was another woman, Dr. Jill Biden, who stole the show with her emotional recounting of her life with Joe Biden.  Cindy McCain also narrated a moving tribute to the friendship between Biden and her late husband.

Here are Jill Biden's remarks along with former President Bill Clinton's and former Secretary of State John Kerry's, plus a reprise.
