RNC full schedule announced 8/24 UPDATE: Ann moved to Tuesday

[Mr. Morden]

Wednesday schedule is now up, and I've added it to the OP.

[Miles]

lol Artur Davis

corporatist democrat going to corportist republican... the new Zell Miller.

Terri Sewell whacked Davis today over his role at the RNC.

[Mr. Morden]

Thursday night schedule has been announced as well, and posted in the OP.

I'll sticky this thread for now, though if one of the other 2012 mods wants to unsticky it now or next week, that's fine with me.  I'll be traveling next week, so won't be as active, and I leave it up to BK and Andrew to sort out how to handle convention week commentary.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

There is a video tribute to Ron Paul in the works.

[Landslide Lyndon]

There is a video tribute to Ron Paul in the works.

Let's hope it's being made by the same creative team that gave us the immortal Pawlenty trailers.

[Lambsbread]

Condi's introducing Ryan? Cool!

[Mr. Morden]

The state roll call, and nomination of Romney is moved to Monday:

Because the Big Three aren't covering the convention on Monday night, word is that it's likely that Ann Romney's speech will be moved to Tuesday. I imagine she'd speak either right before or after Christie. That may move people like Santorum to Monday (which I guess doesn't really matter since he wouldn't be going on between 10-11/not be seen on ABC, NBC or CBS anyway but I wanted him and Christie to speak on the same night).

Even though the hurricane shouldn't have much of an impact on the physical convention itself, the coverage of it during the week is certainly going to distract from it, especially if it slams into the Gulf as a Category 2 or 3.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Damn. Susana better still be coming right before Christie. That was supposed to launch her presidency.

[Reaganfan]

I'm kinda doubting that will happen.

What are you thinking? Accuweather seems bullish on it at least being a Cat. 2 when it hits but I see many others have it as a Cat. 1.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Hold on, if the Romney speech is on Monday, are the networks not covering it then?

It won't be on Monday. He'll be officially nominated Monday but he'll still speak on Thursday night.

[Donerail]

Thought this was a great picture of what stuff's like down here cause of the RNC. Palm trees and barbed wire...

Now it looks like Ann might be moved to Thursday to introduce Romney, and Rubio would get bumped to Tuesday (thereby bumping someone else to Monday):

In any case, as I think I mentioned, I'll be traveling this week (leaving for the airport later today), so if the schedule changes, ask one of the other mods to edit my OP with the change.

[Mr. Morden]

Ann's been moved to Tuesday night and Martinez to Wednesday:

No word on what the exact order will be, or who'll be moved out of Wednesday to make room for Martinez.

Also, here's the entertainment lineup:

[HagridOfTheDeep]

No! No, no, no! Martinez was supposed to go before Christie! This was supposed to make her viable in 2020! Ah! No!

[Eraserhead]

3 Doors Down. lol.

[Joe Biden 2020]

CNN will be covering it from 7:00 pm - 12:00 am EDT all four nights.

They'll do the same for the Democratic National Convention all except for Labor Day night.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Wow, the RNC has a sh**tty lineup. Skynyrd is okay, I guess.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I wish Gov. Mary Fallin of the Great State of Oklahoma would have a big audience.  I think she could be a dark-horse rising star in the Republican Party.  I'm going to watch all four nights of the convention if I can, except for Thursday night when I may be watching College Football.

[Mr. Morden]

After the shuffling took place, here's what we're left with in terms of the hour or so that'll be covered by the broadcast networks each night except Monday:
