Hmmm..Chuckie Todd just said there is a "surprise" speaker at the convention tonight...

[PearliePoo2]

He said, "Think someone from the desert".
Any guesses?

[CanonRay]

1. Betty White?

I'd love to hear her.

[Snarkoleptic]

2. Gabby!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

8. I read that she's doing the Pledge of Allegiance

I didn't know if it was last night or tonight. So I assume it's tonight.

Note To Chuck: If it's been on the internet for more than 24 hours, it's not considered a surprise.

28. I thought that was Gabby Douglas, the Olympic gymnast

She did the pledge on Wednesday: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gabby-douglas-says-pledge-of-allegiance-at-dnc/2012/09/05/cf54b8dc-f7a2-11e1-8398-0327ab83ab91_video.html



I'm pretty sure the guest speaker will be a hologram of Barry Goldwater telling America what a train wreck the modern GOP is.

[DonCoquixote]

11. even with her damaged speech

Gabby can say more about the stakes of this election than Obama or Bill.

[madokie]

[GodlessBiker]

[think4yourself]

19. I've been saying this for a while.

Chuck Todd is incapable of an original thought.
Hack.

[WI_DEM]

20. Lawrence of Arabia!

[Fla Dem]

21. Not anyone who will upstage the Prez or grab tomorrow's headlines. That's for sure. n/t

[Gman]

24. LOL! McCain!

[Firebrand Gary]

26. I heard that too???

[1-Old-Man]

27. That's because that pinhead Todd can only think in childish terms, can only envision childish scenes

The man, Chuck Todd, is so dim-whitted that he can only envision a world reminiscent of a 12-year-old's birthday party. Everyone runs around yelling and screaming, having one hell of a time, and not for one second can a participant give thoughtful reflection on anything that is going on around them. Well, that's Chucky. There always has to be a mystery guest, always an October Suprise, always some great bolt of lightening coming down out of the sky. He can not conceive of a fact-based world where contemplation, reflection, and even calculation are added to long-term hard work to come up with a desirable and to some extent predictable conclusion. That requires thought, and Chucky don't think.

[JanMichael]

29. I would love to see Bruce Springsteen come out and just

play

how cool would that be?

[think4yourself]

30. Josey Wales?

[one_voice]
