In a conference call with reporters, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Co-Chair of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, previewed the nightly themes for what she promised will be "an exciting and innovative convention, one like we've never seen before in America."
Sebelius said: From Monday through Thursday, our convention program will highlight the people of this country who want positive change and who believe Barack Obama is the leader who will listen to their concerns and get our country moving in the right direction again.
The nightly gathering of delegates, elected officials, speakers and just plain folks will "focus on discussions that matter to Americans as they sit around their kitchen table." The discussion will be highlighted by that evening's keynote speaker.
Monday: One Nation Michelle Obama will be the headline speaker. She will lead the discussion on America at a crossroads and tell Barack Obama's story, the story of "a new leader who is ready to serve America."
Tuesday: Renewing America's Promise Sen. Hillary Clinton will be the headline speaker. Clinton's speech will focus on rebuilding the middle class, and the economic challenges and issues that are important to Americans who are losing their jobs and their homes, and struggling with the cost of college and health care.
Wednesday: Securing America's Future The headline speaker will be Obama's vice presidential nominee who will be announced before the convention. The discussion will focus on the contributions and services of veterans, and a "smart, new foreign policy that will make us secure at home and move past divisiveness."
Thursday: Change You Can Believe In The show will move to Invesco Field at Mile High, where Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech before more than 75,000 people.

It's only there because Tienanmen Square won't be ready in time.
nothing about Slick WIllie on the same nite as VP candidate! How bruised will his ego be?
This is what Americans need to see on full display. I am seeing a change in many independent friends, and others that I would have never thought would vote for a conservative. I think the tide is shifting to McCain.
Who sits around their “kitchen table” anymore. Get up to speed with the lingo! It’s who’s lounging in their family rooms watching their plasma tvs!
Too right. I just put ‘kitchen table’ and ‘folks’ on my list of Words That Should Be Banned Forever.
But, if the posters, flyers, and general theme of Zero's campaign is any indication, it will be like what has been seen in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia, and Mao's China.
All their themes will fall along the same lines like: America Before the Lightbulb, Those were the Days...America Without the Combustion Engine, What a Beautiful Place It Will Be. You can probably come up with lots of other equally appropriate Dem themes.
Wonder if they will say how they will produce more energy? If you like $4/gal, Thank the Democrats in Nov.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Good choices. As many on this site already know, my choice for a banned word is "caucasian" (unless referring to folks from the actual Caucuses).
