Clinton, Kennedy Likely to Speak at DNC

[cal04]

Former President Clinton and Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts are in line for prime speaking slots at the Democratic National Convention in Boston next month.

Clinton is scheduled to speak July 26, the opening night of the four-day convention, and Kennedy will address the audience the second day, Democratic officials said Monday. The vice presidential pick will speak July 28 and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry will close the convention July 29 with his expected acceptance speech.

Kerry's former rivals plus Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Al Sharpton, who remain in the primary race, will have a role at the convention although officials haven't decided what that will be. Arrangements are still being worked out.

2. My guess?

Passing out flyers and picking their nose.

Al Sharpton will be asked to go to New York as a correspondent because he has too many Republican moles.
