Bill Clinton's speech really was magnificent and will no doubt be considered one of the highlights of this year's Democratic National Convention.
Wednesday night, we'll hear from President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary's running mate Senator Tim Kaine. Then Hillary Clinton will give her acceptance speech (with an intro by Chelsea) on Thursday.
