Maybe Hillary Clinton should be the keynote speaker at the Convention?

[StrongBad]

At first thought it seems like a great way to unite the party and get all Democrats behind Obama.

Think she'd ever go for it? I'd gain much respect for her if she did.

[MadBadger]

1. At first thought, that would make enormous sense.

[Recursion]

2. How do you type with boxing gloves on?

[El Supremo]

3. Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

The keynote speaker is supposed to be an up-and-comer.

[StrongBad]

5. Barack Obama IS the up-and-comer!

We're hoping to have him front and center for the next eight years!

6. You have a point there

That's true.

Oh hell, I don't know anymore.

[blogslut]

4. I was thinking that too

Not my call but if she could give a speech in the spirit of Ann Richards...that would be very nice

[riverwalker]

7. no

just no.

[sellitman]

8. I'd like Al Gore.

:kick:

[DogPoundPup]

9. And then again...Maybe NOT n/t

[AllentownJake]

10. I agree

Either Hillary or Ted Kennedy.

[StrongBad]

12. Ooh Ted Kennedy

I kind of like that idea too. If he's up to it and in decent shape of course...

[AllentownJake]

13. Passing of the tourch symbolism

Would be awesome with Teddy.

[bunnies]

11. Will she speak before or after she demands the roll call vote?

:shrug:

[sfam]

14. "Even though we didn't select the most electable candidate...."

Sounds like a scary proposition if there ever was one. But who knows, this might be a master stroke as well.

That said, my pick would be Ted Kennedy, if he's healthy enough.

[Roxy66]

15. She would be great...depending on how strong she comes out for Obama tommorrow

[NYC_SKP]

16. No, she's done enough harm already. nt

[StevieM]

18. Get over yourself--she is speaking in prime time (eom)

[crickets]

17. A world of no.

After the last speech, all I want to hear her say in tomorrow's speech is, "I'm no longer running" and "please join me in supporting our Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama." And that would be enough HC speeches for quite a while, tyvm.

[Political Heretic]

19. I'd perfer Al Gore, but can understand the sense of Clinton as well - whatever is best for the party

21. If its not Teddy or another Kennedy I will be thoroughly shocked

Hillary will be there, but this isnt her show

[musicblind]

22. K&R

[blonndee]

23. IF she really meant it

and could make it about the PARTY, I think she could do a fantastic job and do a lot of good for the party.

[AZBlue]

24. Ted Kennedy.

If not him, then Al Gore or John Kerry.

[ruggerson]

25. She will have her own night to speak

if I remember correctly, Ted Kennedy had his own evening.

The Keynoter should be someone else on another evening.
