RNC NYC

Since I was wondering about the schedule and highlights of this week's Republican National Convention, here's a list of the primetime speakers.

Monday
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Arizona Senator John McCain

Tuesday
First Lady Laura Bush
Secretary of Education Rod Paige
California Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger

Wednesday
Second Lady Lynne Cheney
Vice President Dick Cheney
Democratic Georgia Senator Zell Miller

Thursday
New York Governor George Pataki
President George W. Bush

This lineup, as you've all heard, is notable in its distinct lack of conservatives. Following the lead of the Democratic convention, the GOP is going with a steady menu of goopy centrism. The score in terms of speakers stands:
- Administration members: 5
- Left-leaning Republicans: 5
- Right-leaning Democrats: 1
- Right-wing Republicans: 0

There are, of course, many other speakers, including Massachusetts' Governor Romney and Lieutenant Governor Healey (both on Wednesday), but the heavy hitters are the ones who will be listened to.
