    But good for you guys. You got a big movie-star to spit out a few words some could understand. I'm am sure most of the electorate can't see right through it. Seriously.

        DNC key note speakers. A list with ups and downs. Ups: Clinton assuming he's still on top of his game (in fact, H Clinton would probably have been a good addition). Question mark is E Warren. I don't know enough about her. Downs: I'm not big on Kerry. And along with Warren on the previous night, that's a bit much to throw at Mass IMO.

        Tuesday, September 4 - Michelle Obama and Julián Castro

        The speakers for the day include:
        Independent Governor Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island
        Former President Jimmy Carter via video[18]
        First Lady Michelle Obama[19]
        Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio.[19]

        [edit] Wednesday, September 5 - Elizabeth Warren and Bill Clinton

        The speakers for the day include:
        Democratic Senate candidate for Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren[20]
        Former President Bill Clinton[20]

        [edit] Thursday, September 6 - Joe Biden and Barack Obama

        The speakers for the day include:
        U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts
        Vice President Joe Biden
        President Barack Obama

                It will be real interesting to watch Clinton's speech. Clinton does not like Obama, and Obama does not trust Clinton. Look for a few back-handed compliments...."we never had troubles like these when I was President, and if we're lucky Obama will listen to me next term and maybe then we can make some progress...." he won't quite phrase it that way, yet I'll bet he finds a subtle way to imply it.

                I read somewhere that the Obama people were calling Clinton with "suggestions" and he was none to happy about it.

                  It's funny how some of those commenters talk about "dog whistles," did they forget that only dogs can hear them?

                          They have no sense of humor whatsoever. Remember when they tried the Daily Show knockoff on FOX? Horrible, just like the faux Dem convention schedule that was posted here.


                          Weird thing is that when liberals make fun of Dems (like Stewart or Colbert or SNL) it's funny, but when Repubs do, it just seems pathetic.

                          I mean, Dems are funny. Plenty of material there to make fun of.
