1992 Democratic National Convention
The 1992 Democratic National Convention nominated Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas for president and Senator Al Gore from Tennessee for vice president; Clinton announced Gore as his running-mate on July 9, 1992. The convention was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York from July 13 to July 16, 1992. The Clinton-Gore ticket then faced and defeated their Republican opponents, President George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle as well as the independent ticket of Ross Perot and James Stockdale in the 1992 presidential election.
The convention, organized by chairman Ron Brown, was seen as a great success. Unlike some earlier Democratic conventions, it had been well planned and run with few gaffes or errors, as even Republicans conceded. As Clinton finished his acceptance speech Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop", which would become the theme song of Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, was played several times during the balloon drop and celebration.
Clinton received a significant poll bounce from the convention, due to both the perceived success of the convention, as well as Ross Perot announcing he was withdrawing from the campaign just as the convention was ending (Perot got back into the race in October).
The convention bounce gave the Clinton/Gore ticket a lead that only shrank insignificantly when Ross Perot re-entered the race. Clinton and Gore went on to defeat President Bush and Vice President Quayle, as well as Perot and Stockdale, in the general election.
The party platform was more centrist than recent preceding Democratic Party platforms had been, reflecting the new positioning of the party.
New York Governor Mario Cuomo delivered the nominating speech for Clinton, hailing him as the "comeback kid" in reference to Clinton's comeback in the Democratic primaries after his campaign took a hit following a loss in the New Hampshire primary and media coverage of infidelity allegations.
Prominently featured as speakers during the convention were Democratic Party women. The convention's opening program placed a spotlight both on prominent female Democratic U.S. Senate nominees and women's issues.
Other notable speakers included Democratic National Committee Chair Ron Brown and Elizabeth Glaser.
