NEW YORK - Ed Gillespie, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Mark Wallace, Bush-Cheney '04 Deputy Campaign Manager, today announced Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) will deliver the keynote address at the 2004 Republican National Convention on Wednesday, September 1. The 2004 Republican National Convention, the party's first-ever in New York City, will focus on President Bush's vision for "Fulfilling America's Promise by Building a Safer World and a More Hopeful America." The four-day event will pay tribute to the nation's courage, hope, and compassion and herald the opportunities availa ble in this country.
"Senator Miller's support is indicative of the broad support the Republican Party has earned under President Bush's compassionate conservative leadership as Americans reject the 'out of the mainstream' direction of John Kerry's Democratic Party," said Chairman Gillespie. "In 1992, Sen. Miller delivered the keynote address in the very same arena at the Democrats' convention. We're honored he'll be taking the stage at the Garden this year for President Bush."
"President Bush has an optimistic plan to lead America forward," said Wallace. "The 2004 Republican National Convention will celebrate the courage, resolve and compassion of the American people and the president's vision to build a safer world and a more hopeful America."
Each day Monday through Thursday, the Republican National Convention will focus on a key element of this great goal: building a safer world and a more hopeful America.
On Monday, August 30, we will pay tribute to the courage of a nation that has seen unprecedented challenges over the last three and a half years and the president who led the nation through these historic times. Program speaker former Mayor Rudy Giuliani will speak to the courage of the American people, seen through the acts of bravery of a city that saw tragedy and great acts of heroism on September 11, 2001. John McCain will talk about the courage of our men and women in the military and the commander in chief who has led with clarity and conviction in the War on Terror.
On Tuesday, August 31, the Republican National Convention will focus on the compassion of the American people and the uniquely American belief that our best days lie ahead. President Bush's optimistic stewardship of the nation will be the focus when Mrs. Bush addresses the nation with personal insights into the president's three and half years in office. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will tell his personal story of living the American Dream and spreading the party's message of compassion and hope.
On Wednesday, September 1, Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA), will deliver the convention's keynote address. Sen. Miller will speak about the land of opportunity created by President Bush's pro-growth, pro-American worker, pro-American entrepreneur agenda. In 1992, Sen. Miller was selected by President Bill Clinton to deliver the keynote address at the Democrat National Convention. A dozen years later, Sen. Miller will deliver the keynote address for President George W. Bush, who he describes as the "right man" to lead our nation in these times. Vice President Cheney will be the featured speaker on Wednesday. He will speak to the administration's record of creating opportunity for all Americans an d the president's vision for spreading freedom around the world to ensure our safety at home.
On Thursday, September 2, President George W. Bush will lay out his vision for the next four years - a vision that will help build a safer world and a more hopeful America. President Bush will build on his record of accomplishment with new and innovative ideas to spread opportunity and prosperity to all corners of our country. Drawing inspiration from the courage and compassion of all Americans, the president will talk about his plan for building a safer world by spreading freedom around the globe.

A friend of mine from the Charlotte, NC are said that his wife reported to him that the liberal media have already started to spin this.
Something like 'Democrats to have their say at Republican convention'.
Right.
And they're saying, "We want Bush".
