Kerry to speak at the Democratic Convention [View all]

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/08/rahm-emanuel-martin-omalley-democratic-convention-/1#.UDI2492PVtE

Emanuel, Kerry tapped to speak at Dem convention

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley have been added to the list of speakers for the Democratic National Convention.

Democrats gather Sept. 4-6 in Charlotte to formally nominate President Obama for a second term.

Other speakers announced today include two close friends of Obama: Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and former Virginia governor Tim Kaine, who gave up his post as Democratic National Committee chairman to run for the U.S. Senate.

Deval Patrick will speak too (yeah), as well as Liz Warren. It seems that MA will be very well represented,

(Silly question: will the GOP be foolish enough to give a speaking role to Scott Brown. Until now, they have chosen people who are reasonably articulate, but Scottie, really?)
