NPR: DNC Nightly Themes

DNC Nightly Themes

The Democrats have announced the themes for each night of their convention, which starts two weeks from today. VP tea-leafing based on the Wednesday theme is welcome (nay, encouraged!) in the comments section...

Monday, August 25 -- One Nation
Monday's headline prime-time speaker will be Michelle Obama.

Tuesday, August 26 -- Renewing America's Promise

Senator Hillary Clinton will be the headline prime-time speaker on Tuesday night.

Wednesday, August 27 -- Securing America's Future

The Vice Presidential Acceptance Speech

The headline prime-time speaker on Wednesday will be Barack Obama's Vice Presidential Nominee.

Thursday, August 28 -- Change You Can Believe In

Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech

On Thursday night, the DNCC will throw open the doors of the Convention and move to INVESCO Field at Mile High so that more Americans can be a part of the fourth night of the Convention as Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination. Obama will communicate the urgency of the moment, highlight the struggles Americans are facing and call on Americans to come together to change the course of our nation.

I would not be so certain that it will be BO accepting the nomination...there will be a roll call vote, and the Democrats will nominate their BEST possible presidential candidate, based on the vote taken at the DNCC. Hillary could still be the nomineee--and should be, if the Dems want to win in November.
