Poll: Democratic Convention Keynote Speaker?

[featherman]

They usually pick an up and coming star with potential national future. Recent past choices have included: Obama, Harold Ford, Barbara Jordan, Evan Bayh, Ann Richards, etc.
Here are some choices. Please include any guesses of your own

1. Tim Kaine is a bore.

12. kaine

is a great guy, but yeah, we certainly have much better orators to choose from. mark warner or webb would be better choices from virginia, even though i wouldn't necessarily consider them to be the best speakers we could field either.

2. Patrick Murphy

[featherman]

5. Thanks - good choice

[NightWatcher]

3. Either Sebelius or Kaine, whichever is not the running mate

[QueenOfCalifornia]

4. Other

Can't Jon Stewart do it? We would all watch.

[NJSecularist]

6. Joe Lieberman.

Oops, wrong party.

[Nikki Stone1]

23. LOL!

In a sardonic sort of way. :evilgrin:

[LSK]

7. Barack Obama

:hide:

[onehandle]

8. Sebelius will be running for the Senate soon.

She would be a good choice for the Keynote. Good for her campaign.

9. Warner

[speedoo]

10. Senator Ted Kennedy.

Who can better speak about why we must win this election?

[JCMach1]

11. Teddy deserves it if able...

[featherman]

13. Kennedy will speak if able but not as Keynoter which is a specific slot

There are many speeches but the Keynote is usually reserved for an up and comer

[tridim]

17. Agreed 100%.

I really hope Kennedy is with us long enough to at least see Barack sworn in.

24. Sorry, I didn't have the heart to leave this and the next post connected. n/t

[MNDemNY]

14. The Grim Reaper.

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Jason Altmire, PA

He's an up and comer and his seat has been targeted by the GOP.

Or, what about everyone's favorite Floridian, Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

I'd also like to hear Linda Sanchez deliver the keynote.

Someone from Michigan would be good too, like Bart Stupak.

Maria Cantwell, senator from Washington might be good too, she's been all over the energy mess.

Sentimental favorite, Teddy Kennedy, would be good too.

There really are so many new faces who could use a little more press, it's hard to name just one.

16. Kennedy.

[global1]

18. If Obama Wins The Nomination - It Should Be Hilliary......

what a better way to unite the party.

[KansDem]

19. John Edwards...

Maybe NPR will report on it, then...

[bluestateguy]

20. Janet Napolitano

[Mojambo]

21. Al Gore. n/t

[Guaranteed]

26. I don't see how it could be anyone else. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. Rocky Anderson mayor of Salt Lake City

Great Speaker and fighter for the Democratic party.

[ColbertWatcher]

25. Now that's a good pick. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

27. They should have Lincoln Chaffee - just to piss off the repubs

slinking off quietly now......

[mmonk]

29. Or Hagel. It would delete the Lieberman effect, our

Zell Miller in standing.

[OhioChick]

28. Teddy. n/t
