So who IS going to speak at the RNC convention?

No Dubya, no Darth Cheney, no Quitter, no Bachmann....all we hear about is what disgraced Republicans won't be speaking, and of course they don't want to give Ron Paul the mic.

Somehow I doubt we will be hearing from Herman Cain about the great 999 plan that set the GOP world on fire just last year.

All their heroes have crashed and burned, so who WILL be speaking? The only one I've heard anybody mention is Chris Christie.

Although IMO I think he's doing it for himself when he runs in 2016.

7. Seems to me the establishment GOP is "distancing" itself from the baggers

b/c for one, if they let them yammer on they will get more response than the dull and unliked-by-the-base Romney, for the other it will let Dems tie Romney to nutball baggers and scare off indies in the general.

Whichever ones do not get picked for VP. Then the VP pick will have his own moment in the sun.

I wonder if they'll hire a bunch of "minorities" to perform, to make them appear more inclusive, like they did the last time?

14. Christie Creme, and I figure

we'll get the obligatory lame attempt at stand-up from Rudy Giuliani.
He's a good Romneybot and they love to trot out the self-declared "Mayor of America" to wax poetic about the aftermath of 9-11.
