The convention's keynote speaker was former Texas Representative Barbara Jordan , who had also keynoted the party's 1976 Convention . Other notable speakers included party chairman Ron Brown , Elizabeth Glaser and Georgia governor Zell Miller who said: "Not all of us can be born rich, handsome, and lucky, and that's why we have a Democratic Party." He also said "Our Commander in Chief talks like Dirty Harry but acts like Barney Fife." The ending of the convention played the Theme Song of Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, Fleetwood Mac 's " Don't Stop ". The convention, organized by Ron Brown, was seen as a great success. Unlike earlier Democratic conventions, it had been well planned and run with few gaffes or errors, as even Republicans conceded.
