Video: 'Democratic National Convention 1992 BILL CLINTON FULL SPEECH'

(Thursday, July 16, 1992, 10:25 p.m. EDT; during the 1992 Democratic National Convention) — Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas accepted the Democratic presidential nomination tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York City with a frontal assault on President George H.W. Bush, urging American voters to add the Republican incumbent to the employment lines because he hadn’t “changed a thing — except from bad to worse.”

Clinton was nominated on July 15, 1992, on the first ballot, defeating former Governor Jerry Brown of California 3,372 to 596 votes.

Senator Al Gore of Tennessee was nominated vice president by acclamation on a voice vote.
