While the organizers of the Republicans' upcoming Tampa get-together have been careful to keep the official schedule under wraps, CNN has learned that Ann Romney will likely kick off the opening night on August 27th. As CNN political director Mark Preston explains:

Having Ann Romney play a prominent role on the convention’s first night makes sense, as she is widely considered to be one of her husband's most effective surrogates. It would also create a bookend effect – Ann Romney speaking on the first night, with her husband formally accepting the Republican presidential nomination on the final evening of the convention.

1. Will she address the audience as "you people?"

Or will they be part of "us" rather than "them?" Most of them don't have the really big money like Mitt, so it's up in the air I suspect.

2. Will she arrive on stage in a carriage ?

[11 Bravo]

14. Old horse-face should be pulling the carriage

[LeftofObama]

3. I predict that after about 2 minutes on stage

she will drop to her knees and say something like...

"Please, please, you people listen to me! It's our turn! Why oh why won't you just trust my husband when he tells you he only wants to help you? Why? We've paid our taxes! lots of them! Just trust us! Please!"

4. I'd rather see Rafalca...nt

[avebury]

5. Ann Rmoney is considered to be

her husband's more effective surrogate? Yeah right!. rofl: :

[PearliePoo2]

6. I've seen all I ever want to see of her.

She's a nasty piece of work.

[smirkymonkey]

11. I heartilly agree.

I am beginning to dislike her even more than I dislike him. Which is really saying something. Because I dislike him A LOT.

[rurallib]

7. singing her latest hits "Let Us Be" and "Taxman"

[longship]

8. It's her "It's our turn." moment.

We are entitled by our financial position. Enough with "you people" governing yourselves. We know what's best for us. And it is high time we took control of things so that we have the only say in these matters. You'll be happy because we'll tell you that you are. Or else!

Oops! Almost forgot the obligatory


Don't want anybody invoking Nathan Poe on me.

9. It only makes sense, it befits her 'status' as....

not one of "you people" and who feels entitled to her "turn".

Yikes.

[lunatica]

10. If your wife is your only best surrogate you're in fucking trouble.

[Raine]

13. Yup, most people really did like Betty Ford but that didn't help Ford get elected. nt

[Cleita]

12. That should be a spectacle. Will she arrive in her golden coach with a team of

white horses and her liveried footmen? Will she be attended by all her ladies-in-waiting? Will she be lifted to the podium on her sedan chair so that her feet don't have to touch the same ground the service staff probably walked on before.

15. Will Ann-toinette arrive with her dancing horse?
