Oh, this is fun. I was wondering who the Democrats were going to have speaking at the Obamacrat Convention. The smarter ones are staying away. That leaves hardcore progs from deep blue districts and other assorted Obama loyalists and hangers on.

Check out this “murderers row” as Ace calls it:

Speakers: Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin Newark Mayor Cory Booker Former President Jimmy Carter (via video) San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who will be the first Latino keynote speaker at a Democratic National Convention Former President Bill Clinton Former Republican Governor of Florida Charlie Crist Former Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Tammy Duckworth Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Georgetown Law School Graduate Sandra Fluke Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper Montana State Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy (ret.) Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California CarMax co-founder and former CEO Austin Ligon President of NARAL Pro-Choice America Nancy Keenan Caroline Kennedy Women’s rights activist Lilly Ledbetter Obama Campaign Co-Chair Eva Longoria U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, together with the women of the U.S. Senate Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund Cecile Richards Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak Journalist Cristina Saralegui Costco co-founder and former CEO Jim Sinegal Former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland Los Angeles Mayor, Democratic Convention Chair Antonio Villaraigosa Senate candidate from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren Congressman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina Walter Dalton The Honorable Arne Duncan Former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt U.S. Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina Former Governor of North Carolina Jim Hunt The Honorable Karen Mills Congressman David Price of North Carolina The Honorable Ken Salazar The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius The Honorable Tom Vilsack Congressman Mel Watt of North Carolina

Seriously?! Where are the beloved leaders of the party – Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? (See update.) No Hillary?! Most of the names l recognize are toxic progs like Sebelius, Barbara Lee, Gov. O’Malley, Barbara Mikulski and Salazar or repugnant has beens like Jimmah, BJ, and Lurch, not to mention one reviled political opportunist, Charlie Crist, and one very unappealing vagina advocate, Sandra Fluke. The icing on the cake of course is that the hostess of this mess will be the deeply unappealing Debbie Wasserman Schultz – (with relaxed curls and massive amounts of stage makeup.) What a train wreck.

Compare to the RNC all-star line-up:

Tuesday, August 28

Wednesday, August 29

Thursday, August 30

All said, I fully expect to see plenty of “surprise” guests added to the DNC program to make up for the dearth of excitement in their scheduled speakers. Keep in mind, team O is acutely aware that they have to win the youth vote, and the ignoramus vote in huge numbers, so plenty of razzle-dazzle is in order. Hollywood is all in for Obama, so I expect to see some hip, young, A-list stars. I also suspect he’ll have an Olympic gold medalist or two from this years’ games.

UPDATE:

The list has gotten a little sadder and tawdrier since I posted this, yesterday. Looks like beloved Dems, Reid and Pelosi will be speaking, after all!

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi will also lead a presentation of the women of the House:
