Sounds like fun already ... the Tampa Bay Times released the names of some of the speakers slated for the RNC convention in Tampa later this month, and it looks to be a promising lineup. The Times reported that, as of now, it's unclear where these speakers are slotted, and the rest of the lineup--including the keynote speaker--remains unknown. Names so far include conservative powerhouses New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Florida Gov. Rick Scott is also speaking.
Here's a portion of the Times report:
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are among seven headline speakers announced today for the Republican National Convention in Tampa.The first look at featured speakers also includes South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.
The keynote speaker and others will be named closer to the Aug. 27-30 event, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said in announcing the headliners, whom he called "some of our party's brightest stars, who have governed and led effectively and admirably in their respective roles."
So far, the lineup looks off to a fairly good start. Conservatives will definitely be represented well--both socially, with the inclusion of Mike Huckabee, and practically, with competent and current gubernatorial voices like Martinez and Haley--and Rice remains a popular figure in the GOP.
dude you need to replace your candle, Diogenese would move on after looking.
... and, somewhere: Karl Rove's ears just started burning. ;)
Why would it be stupid to put him on the list? He was the 2008 nominee after all. Maybe you think because you and others in here don’t like him the RNC should say there are freepers who don’t like McCain so we won’t let him speak? Sorry but it doesn’t work that way, and btw he was my third choice in 2008 and I voted for him in the general election. I have and will always vote for the nominee whehter you like it or not
I also meant to add that the list is only partial
Karl needs to get toasted all over. Every time I see him or Ed Rollins any more, I have to reach for something to settle my tummy. What a pair of trolls!
Some just don’t get it. Their hatred for Governor Romney is so deep. Just like their hatred was for McCain in the 2008 election, which as a result got that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave elected and might probably reelect him again. These same ignoramuses also are to blame that we lost the House and the Senate in 2006 and that Pelosi, Reid and 0bama were able to ram the 0bamaHealt6h care down our throat in 2009
Yup. Same pig-headed, kamikaze electoral "strategy" that worked like such a charm for them just four short years ago:
Sad. Sad.
With regards to all the listed speakers.
One BIG and very very big, WHO CARES?
It is a big snooze fest.
seriously? HUCKSTER?!
This had better be a read meat convention. McCain is 110% useless and has no place at the convention table.
Yup. Sad that these nuts prefer obama for 4 more years to some mythical 10/10 dream boat who did not run in 2012.
Thanks for the link. I would have posted it had I seen it
... to say nothing of the poisonous, back-stabbing betrayal of his own doggedly loyal VP pick; and his fateful, calamitous "We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency" burbling in '08, which certainly didn't do much to advance the cause of conservatism overall, either.
Is that you?
Nice red x or blank page depending on the browser *snicker*
The same can be asked of you.
