In an electrifying end to the Democratic convention's second night, Clinton appeared by video from New York, with her image over a breaking glass ceiling, "This is really your victory. This is really your night. And if there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch, let me just say I may become the first woman president but one of you is next," she said.
