Winners and losers from the 2nd night of the Democratic convention

We've now officially passed the halfway point of the Democratic National Convention. Former president Bill Clinton was the main attraction of Tuesday night's speaking lineup, but I managed to pick some other winners and losers too.  They're below.

Winners

* Bill Clinton: Watching Bill Clinton give a high-profile address to a big crowd is watching someone who was born to do exactly what they are doing. Yes, the speech was looooong.  Yes, he went way off the TelePrompTer. A lot. But, he also managed to tell one of the most well-known stories -- his life with Hillary -- in an engaging, funny and, yes, sweet way.  Most importantly, the speech was almost entirely focused on his wife, not him -- a remarkable thing for a) a former president and b) a former president named Bill Clinton.

The Hillary Bill Clinton described -- putting liners in the drawers of Chelsea Clinton's dorm room at Stanford -- was a side of the Democratic nominee you never, ever see. And, through his personal story he told the story of Hillary Clinton's perseverance and commitment to public service in a compelling and fresh way.
