It seems like the Dems are doing what the Republicans are doing- getting rid of the liabilities first. Pelosi, Jimmy (fellow Braves fan!), and Ted Kennedy are the types you'll see in attack ads... get them out of the way first.
But more important is the mysterious "Republican for Obama" The only other positions that are unnamed are the VP spots. The question remains... will it be Chuck Hagel???

Possible Obama remote live into convention
I'd provide analysis, but I think the CAPITALIZED words following each name do them justice. The end of the night should be awesome with a Gore-Hillary tandem ending the night. I think the Pepsi Center might explode from the egos- all reports say these two really don't like each other.
But the best part of the night might just be the 8:00 o'clock hour. It also could be a typo. I didn't doctor this- it's direct from the CNBC website:

Chris Dodd is the "Women of the Senate" I'm guessing it will be these women, but the way it's printed is funny.

Obama remote live into convention
Outside of Bill Clinton and the Vice President, this night seems fairly bland. My guess is Slick Willy was scheduled the same night as the Veep with the hope this as-yet unnamed person would overshadow Obama's nemesis.
The roll call vote will be neat. The latest I've heard is that Hillary's name will be put in to nomination, if only for ceremony. Ironically, Richard Daley is the first scheduled speaker after vote- the type of guy who brings any vote true integrity.

As will be said innumerable times, this is 45 years after Martin Luther King's I ahve a Dream speech.
The move to the outdoor Invesco Field is a gutsy, risky, and genious move. Three things have to happen to make it pay off:
1: All 70,000 seats have to be full
2: Obama's speech has to be great
3: It has to be nice weather
#1 is already done. #2 is very possible. #3 is up in the air- the forecast says it should be sunny on Thursday, though it says storms will hit Friday. Either way, it'll be a tough ticket to get.
Lastly, as the speech is at the Denver football stadium, will the Bronco Barrel Guy show up?

The picture of Jimmy Carter is fairly irrelevant... but I have to find as many ways as possible to plug my awful Braves as possible.
