DNC speakers announced 8/27 UPDATE: Crist will speak

[BM]

This is one of the worst lineups for a convention I've ever seen in my entire life. The Republicans have a much deeper bench for the future if these are the people they're propping up, even though their nominee was overshadowed by nearly every speaker.

The list of women is terrible. Sandra Fluke, Barbara Lee, Eva Longoria, and even Barbara Mikulski over Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand? I am considering changing my registration again.

Pathetic list. Some of them have no relevance whatsoever anymore. Strickland? Granholm?

No Schweitzer? No Cuomo? Gillibrand and Klobuchar shoved in with all the other Senate women?

O'Malley and Booker are the only ones that might be interesting and amount to something, but I somehow doubt that too.

Well that full list is slightly better.
