Ideas on who's going to be the Democratic Keynote Speaker?

[nolabear]

I'm a bit of a blank on the firecracker possibilities. We clearly need someone up to the standard of Clinton and Warren.

Thoughts?

1. Maryland's governor O'Malley?

He's really good for our side.

[Fawke Em]

3. But, will he he speak or entertain us with his Irish band?

I O'Malley!

2. It was announced on MSNBC today.

Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, I believe is what I heard.

Edit to add: Warren will speak before and introduce Clinton, or something like that. I was working with the TV on for white noise so I wasn't really paying attention.

Come to think of it, I may have imagined the whole thing.

11. I heard that but I think it was incorrect.

Warren introduces Clinton, yes, but I don't think he's the keynote.

4. Obama Rocked The House In 2004.......

............but Warner in 2008 was a real disappointment. I enjoyed a lot of the other speakers much more. I thought the Governor of Montana (whose name escapes me at the moment--Brian something) was particularly good.

5. has there ever been a female keynote?

I'm old enough to remember Clinton in 1988.

I'm sorry Warren won't be the keynote with Clinton introducing her, but then, she's been a thorn in the side of this administration.

6. Yes

Barbara Jordan twice in 92 and 76 and probably most famously Ann Richards in 88.

7. so what speech did Clinton give in 88?

. . . when people got so fussy with him for talking too long. Was that in 88?

Before the days of endless repeats and DVR--if you didn't see it the first time, you missed it. I missed Ann Richards.

8. he nominated Dukakis

which is the speech he is giving in 12 for Obama.

12. A highlight from Ann's speech

9. Wish it could be Jessie Jackson again.

10. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

I cannot ask enough!

13. Julain Castro is the choice. Mayor of San Antonio. First Latino Keynote.

I keep trying to get some attention for the announcement but everyone's so caught up with Romney it's not getting any attention. We need to give this man some love.
