Chairman mccormack, my fellow americans, i accept your nomination. I accept the duty of leading this party to victory this year. [applause] and i thank you, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for placing at my side the man that last night you so wisely selected to be the next Vice President of the United States.

[applause] i should have preferred to hear those words uttered by a stronger, wiser, a better man than myself. But after listening to the president s speech, i even feel better about myself. None of you, my friends, can really appreciate what is in my heart. I can only hope that you understand my words, they will be few. I have not sought the honor you have done me, i could not seek it, because i aspired to another office. Which was the four major of my ambition. And one does not treat the highest caucus within the game, of the people of illinois, as an alternative or as a consolation prize. I would not seek your nomination for the presidency because the presence of that office staggers the imagination. Its potential for good or evil now, and in the years of our lives. It smothers exploitation, and converts vanity to prayer. I embrace the merciful father, the father of us all, who let this pass
