More Tuesday Night Speakers Added to DNC
First came the news came that Hillary Clinton would speak at the Democratic Convention Tuesday night. Yesterday came the news that the keynote speech, to be given by former VA. Governor Mark Warner, would also be Tuesday.
Now there's this: the Tuesday lineup will also include Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, Governors Ted Strickland of Ohio and Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, Senator Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania and Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana and Federico Peña, former Mayor of Denver and Secretary of both Energy and Transportation.
That's 10 speakers for Tuesday night. By contrast, Monday night, there are 5 speakers, 3 of whom are Michelle Obama, her brother and Barack Obama's sister.[More...]
Update: There's a difference between principal and featured speakers. The principal speakers Tuesday in prime-time are still Mark Warner and Hillary Clinton.
As announced earlier this week, Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia, will deliver the Convention’s keynote address, and Senator Hillary Clinton, who is a champion for working families and one of the most effective and empathetic voices in the country today, will be the headline prime-time speaker on Tuesday night.
Update: Title of post changed as there were 10 total speakers some nights at the 2004 convention. Here's the 2004 list.
One difference between 2004 and now: Then, the first night speakers' were party leaders (Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter and Hillary) while the candidate's wife, Theresa Heinz Kerry, spoke on Tuesday. This year, Michelle Obama goes first and former President Clinton speaks Wednesday.
Update: Colin Powell will not be attending the DNC.
