Mystery Speaker at RNC

[BelieveMe3]

The WSJ is reporting a TBA speaker Thurs night at the RNC. Around 10 pm when the networks wil be showing it.

Bets on if it's Trump with the "You're Fired" schtick??

1. Palin ?

[southernyankeebelle]

2. Maybe it's the black ex congressman who has turned republican. He is suppose to speak. Oh, maybe

it's the quitter from Wallisa?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. Artur Davis

[klook]

26. Pure gold for them

1. Black.
2. From Alabama.
3. Attended Harvard Law School with Obama.
4. He's Black, btw.
5. Was on-stage at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver to second Obama's nomination for president.
6. Did I mention he's Black?

Traitorous turncoat. Ugh.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. Read this article...

Congressional Black Caucus is going after Davis. Good on them, but the entire Democratic Party should sign on with the CBC.

The CBC should not be standing alone on this issue!!

[klook]

34. Good to know - thanks

I agree with the CBC members that this nothing more than political opportunism on Davis's part. How can this guy look in the mirror?

[southernyankeebelle]

35. Thank you. I just couldn't remember his name. What a traitor. It's all about the money

[graywarrior]

3. Ronald?

[The empressof all]

4. My bet is on a celebrity...

Bet they'll drag up Clint Eastwood or Don King


Or could be Rush himself...in the flesh

[Thrill]

5. Trying to drive viewers to their shitty convention

I won't watch a minute of their race baiting asses

[C_U_L8R]

6. They'll bring Ronnie Reagan back

a la Tu Pac hologram

and the Repuke horde will explode in a messy simultaneous orgasm

yuck.

[madinmaryland]

7. "W"???

[rug]

8. I hope he brings Nagini with him.

[Paulie]

14. LoL

Just think its the last horcrux...

[sofa king]

9. It's Ahh-nold.

Don't ask me how I know. I just know.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

10. Actually it is Lord Voldemort

[George II]

11. Unless he's lying (again) Trump said he can't make it.

[summerschild]

28. Trump already put out teasers saying he's not speaking but

he's doing something - assured the interviewer they would understand when they saw it.

My bet is the mystery is Trump doing a "comedy" routine with the Obama impersonator guy.

He'll never forgive Obama for exposing him as the fool that he is at the White House Press dinner. This is his attempted payback.

[romantico]

12. TRUST ME

Trust me, it will leak before Thursday. Hell, they couldn't even keep Romney's VP pick a secret. We'll know beforehand and it will spoil any surprise. Could it possibly be Nancy Reagan?

[Motown_Johnny]

13. Thursday night? Closing night when that is the last hour of network coverage?

WTF are they trying to pull?



Trump doesn't deserve that slot. If this is true then it has to be a big gun.

[Drunken Irishman]

15. Colin Powell...

Okay...I really don't believe that.

[ancianita]

16. Clint Eastwood

[GallopingGhost]

17. I could make a really bad Charlton Heston joke here, but...

We haven't heard much from the Alaskan Macadamia this election.

[WI_DEM]

18. None of the usual suspects (Trump/Palin, etc) because their not really popular with the masses

it's probably some celebrity like Clint Eastwood or they dug up some democrat to endorse Romney.

[Mtndreamer]

19. Really surprising speaker..

heard that it is going to be the "Ghost of Ronald Reagan", telling folks how wonderful he really was.

[demwing]

20. My guess it will be an Obama impersonator

that does or says something outrageous

[Waiting For Everyman]

21. Bush Sr.?

I'd be shocked but I guess it's possible. Or Nancy Reagan?

[mojo2012]

22. My guess is Trump

Trump in all his ego and glory is probably demanding that he appear especially while the networks are broadcasting. It's one of the chips he's called in for his donations to Romney.
I say go for it, and show the world how idiotic this whole Republican party has become.

[hamsterjill]

23. Cheney.

I'm betting Cheney.

[morningfog]

25. Reeks of desparation to attract viewers.

[Blue Meany]

27. Romney's other wives? n/t

[Blue Meany]

29. They really don't have anybody with enough pizzaz...so maybe they'll

bring in someone from overseas: Netanyahu, Adelson, OR Walesa...

[deutsey]

30. The real power behind the GOP:

[bigdarryl]

31. Who gives a fuck I won't be watching this shit anyway

[cdb120]

32. Ted NUGENT!!! n/t

[JDPriestly]

36. Lieberman would be my guess.

[karynnj]

39. I'm with you - I would have posted my post to yours, but I saw yours after I

wrote it.

I think it possible and dread the fact that he would likely trash Obama - unfairly - on Israel. I support J Street, which has tried to counter the Netanyahu/Romney/neo con line which is not good for the US, Israel or the Middle East.

[karynnj]

37. My bet Joe Lieberman

Why? He has been playing it coy on who he will vote for and he is an attention whore. I doubt Obama would give him a role - if lucky, he might get a seat.

He would be billed as a moderate Democrat, strongly supporting Israel, who will endorse Romney on foreign policy. (Lieberman is close to the neo cons that are Romney's advisers.

I hope I am wrong, as that might sway a few Independents. (Not all of whom think of Lieberman as we do.) The other is that they will try to make the point that it is the Democratic party that has moved so far to the left that a VP nominee of 12 years ago can't support it. (That he supported McCain may weaken this a bit.)

[Sugarcoated]

38. God, I hope so!
