Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsBest guess for the Mystery Speaker?
Joe the Plumber
Bristol Palin
Jon Voight
Ken Cucinnelli
A Reagan impersonator or hologram
Katherine Harris
Rafalca
Donald Trump
Sheriff Arpaio
Ben Quayle
Who'd I forget? Any other guesses?
The choice will probably be pretty underwhelming and will be a big letdown for the already bored delegates.

(19,458 posts)I guess the point of the whole Convention was to purposely overshadow Romney, so that people forgot what a vapid, lying, asshole, elitist, he was. So it makes sense to have some mystery guest.
Thinking of the FAIL sandwich which has been this Convention so far... it could be the supposed Trump schtick he was supposed to do where he "fires" President Obama. They would think that this is somehow exciting and newsworthy.
But I think they want to rally the troops... so I think it'll be someone like Eastwood, who they perceive as relevant, even tho he's an angry old libertarian.
ETA: I forgot. Could be a cast reunion of Hee Haw or Dukes of Hazard. lol.

Eastwood (dead to me) is the one I keep hearing coming up.

(47,992 posts)sure as hell does matter to me that the, Ha! Ha!, plane-talker, straight-shooter Eastwood would endorse a WEALTHFARE QUEEN like Romney.
Big working "man" 's disappointment!

It's the RNC for goodness sakes, so it can't be anyone that amazing.

(5,624 posts)for angry White men. It may give them a little star power but it certainly isn't a fucking surprise. They could get some sort of DINO from congress to defect and speak at the RNC (remember Zell Miller, I think he did that?) but even members of congress aren't necessarily newsworthy to Joe Sixpack who the RNC are trying to "surprise".
I'm thinking it will be Clint, Reagan hollogram, or Palin.
The surprise would be if it were somebody like Steven Colbert. He'd probably do it if they asked, but the GOOP take themselves way too seriously for that.
