Who do you think should be the Dem convention keynote speaker?

[WI_DEM]

It's an important prime time speech (and helped launch Barack Obama back in 2004). Here is my choice:

[sharp_stick]

1. Great Choice

I would definitely support that one.

[Auggie]

2. Who ever has the best chance of being elected POTUS in 2016

[LeftofObama]

3. If it can't be me,

then I fully support your choice!

[longship]

4. I was going to post, "It better damned well be a woman."

But, your recommendation says the same with many fewer words.

A perfect choice.

5. I don't know who it is but I'm sure the choice has already been made.

6. Howard Dean

Oh, what could have been if the Democrats had a spine in 2004. Second choice: Hillary. Putting Warren up there might hurt her chances at being a Senator. Moderates would most likely view a convention speech as an unfair advantage unless Brown was given the keynote at the GOP convention.

10. HOWARD!

And I would hope he gave the Democratic leadership hell from the podium. Al From would shit.

[broiles]

25. Great idea!

[Rhiannon12866]

26. My first thought, too!

We need his wise words and ideas now more than ever...

[railsback]

28. Word

[RZM]

7. Warren is probably on the short list

I'd say she's the most likely candidate.

[progressoid]

8. Anthony Weiner?

9. He could video phone into the conference from his BlackBerry.

[jillan]

16. lol!!

[bahrbearian]

11. I think Howard would bring more Fire that Elizabeth, I love her though.

12. LIZ! n/t

[Woody Woodpecker]

13. Howard Brush Dean III

deserves a prime time speaking slot.

Just before Biden/Obama.

[HopeHoops]

14. Grayson.

[HooptieWagon]

15. Yes, she would be very good!

IMO, most all the major speakers, especially during prime time, should be women, minorities, gay, teachers, and union members... everyone the Rethugs have declared war on. Put the focus on the fact that the GOP only serves the intrests of old rich white dudes.

17. William Jefferson Clinton

[ibegurpard]

27. no thanks

afraid he might slip off message again and nominate Romney...

[craigmatic]

18. Yeah she'd be a good one.

[Agony]

19. Bernie Sanders

he acts like a Democrat most of the time... maybe "we" would learn a thing or two.

[Blaukraut]

20. Kamala Harris, CA Attorney General

21. Hmm. Sherrod Brown or Al Franken?

That's a good question!

[kentuck]

22. I would agree with Elizabeth Warren...

Maybe she can give a similar speech to the one that went viral on You Tube?

23. HRC

[monmouth]

24. Either Elizabeth or Martin O'Malley. I have a crush on him...n/t
