Sen. Barack Obama's campaign announced yesterday that his wife, Michelle, will be the star attraction on the opening night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 25.
Following Michelle Obama on Monday, the "headline speakers" for the rest of the convention will be Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday, Obama's vice presidential choice on Wednesday, and Obama on Thursday. The convention will move that day to Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium, and Obama will officially accept the party's nomination before a crowd expected to reach 75,000.
Two of the dates will be rich with symbolism. Clinton, who came closer than any woman to winning a major-party nomination for president, will speak on the 88th anniversary of women receiving the right to vote, and Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Well, that's the plan, wonder if Hillary has any surprises in store ?
I hope she flips out...
That will be her entire speech, and it will take 25 minutes to deliver, because the audience will keep interrupting with applause.
Maybe the protesters will bust in...
I thought that 'pledged delegates' were technically free to vote for whoever they chose - not legally or otherwise bound to the candidate claiming the pledge.
If I'm wrong, and each and every pledged democrat lackey is bound irreversibly to Obama, then so be it.
But,
If I'm right,
this announcement means that the DNC has admitted that it has anointed Obamasama as their savior - and no deviation from the party line will be tolerated.
There is no other explanation for calling on the wife of a candidate to be the opening speaker in a convention that is supposed to select the man or woman who will lead the party into a presidential election.
The Clintons must be stunned by, literally in awe of, the mastery their overlord has acquired with so little effort.
I wondered if she was filling in for John Edwards.
I wonder if "God Damn America" Jeramiah Wright will give the keynote speech.
Just hope she does not read from her senior year thesis.
You kidding?
That would be wonderful if she did!
Gee, I get the feeling that the ogres of both parties are going to get the microphone only on the first night of each convention. Hillary and Michelle in Denver. Bush/Cheney at the GOP convention.
Howie Mandel can't hold a candle to Mrs. Obama, Barrack’s baby mama.
They'll open with a bunch of rappers burning an American flag.
"America sucks, sucks, sucks."
Here we have the giant personna. The person behind the curtain is Michelle.
ANYONE FEELING WEAK: JUST WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT, WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT
So Hillery! speaking on night two and his VP on night three
kinda indicates it isn’t herself.
A proxy, lol, oh the humantility. (mine)
