2012 Republican National Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm looking forward to Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Rick Scott, John Kasich, Luis Fortuno, Scott Walker and Chris Christie.

I was kind of hoping for Nancy Pelosi (and Dennis Miller) just to make it interesting.

I really like the Governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuno, so I hope he's impressive with his speech. I think they should have gotten the Governor of North Dakota Jack Dalrymple since his state is doing so well. He could have made an energy oriented speech.

I'll be watching reruns of Pawn Stars. I already know I'm not voting for Obama.

I heard MSNBC is promoting it as four nights of stand-up comedy.

Seriously, I think I'd be most interested in hearing Rand Paul. Hopefully his speech won't sound like something that's been run through the establishment Republican spin cycle.

Default Why does the RNC fear Ron Paul speaking?

So even though Rep. Ron Paul is still officially a candidate the GOP still hasn't allowed him a place at the RNC podium.

Bad form GOP and camp Romney, really bad form.

Jeb, Condi, Marco, Scott, Mia, Kelly, Sher, Susana, Chris...I think they are the ones in the next generation of leadership that interest me the most. it will be interesting to see where they are in the hierarchy in four years. Some real young, others more seasoned, but all at the forefront of a rebirth. The pendulum swings, yes she do.

Yikes, that's over 40 speakers, with more than 20 on the first day. I believe the theme for this year's convention will be "The Cure for Insomnia"
