Alliance Democrat Rep. John Boccieri got a call he had been waiting for Saturday afternoon, and all of a sudden his last-minute campaigning for re-election came to a halt.

Boccieri was informed his wife, Stacey, had gone into labor. He dashed off the stage of a rally being held for himself and other Democrats and headed off to be with his wife.

His quick exit caused former President Bill Clinton -- the guest of the honor at the rally -- to exclaim: "Another Democrat!"

"The baby is now being born!" Clinton told the cheering crowd. "You'd be amazed how many times I take a picture with a very pregnant woman and then she immediately gives birth."

"We got another Democrat," Clinton said. "I wish we could register that baby before it's too late."
