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 conventions 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.

(40,416 posts)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!
