TAMPA, Fla. — On Thursday night, the Republican convention schedule has a mystery hole just before Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney’s speeches. The space is scheduled for “remarks” but simply lists “To be Announced” where the name of the speaker should be.

The Wall Street Journal speculated, and The Drudge Report highlighted, that the mysterious speaker could be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

But that’s almost entirely implausible. Palin is popular with some conservatives, but toxic to the nation at large. There is no way she would be the mystery speaker in a prime time slot. Plus, she is vocally siding against Team Romney on Republican convention rules changes. That’s not something a special mystery speaker for Romney would do.

They are all wrong...

It is Dick Cheney, he is tanned, he is rested, and he is ready to verbally kick Obama's ***...

No former office holder reviles he who shall not be named more than Vice President Cheney..... If he is to give the speech, it will be blistering...

After seeing him a short while ago, being interviewed by Megyn Kelly, followed up by watching some of his speeches on Youtube, my vote is for Evan Draim, a 17 year old, who is the youngest delegate at the convention.

A hologram of Reagan’s “A Time For Choosing” speech, or Rush Limbaugh. Would be happy with Sarah Palin, as well. Don’t see it being Bush or Cheney, as fun as that could be.

Cheney would be a home run IMO. I did say Herman Cain, but I think Cheney would knock it out of the park.
