If Bill Clinton is getting prime speaking spot, where will Howard Dean be?

[HardWorkingDem]

Anyone hear when Dean will be speaking? Or are they going to be turning him into the darn emcee?

1. isn't he going to be in a sort of a "host" role

[polmaven]

8. Which, as Chair of the DNC,

is exactly what he should do.

2. on his knees somewhere

praying

3. I'm sure he will have his moments.

He's a favorite of the convention delegates, and he will be warmly received throughout.

4. Backstage with a Vaudeville hook waiting, just in case

5. Very cute! Bring out the dancing girls and turn up the music.

[Lucky 13]

6. The clown from Showtime at the Apollo has also been flown in.

Along with the original GONG from The Gong Show.

7. I don't think he necessarily needs to speak

I'm sure his name will be mentioned by those speaking quite a bit. I don't see him as the egotistical type.

9. May not need to speak, but he certainly deserves to speak...

I'm not bringing this up as an egotistical thing, but more of a deserve thing. This man is sort of like Al Gore - made all kinds of predictive comments that many laughed at when they were made and then had to look away in shame when he was shown to be right.

The man deserves a prime time slot for a speech and I hope he gets it.
