According to a draft agenda it is going to go something like…
Welcome/Invitation To Be Seated – Chairman Daniello 7:00pm
Nobody will hear this.
Invocation – Harriet Smith Windsor 7:05pm
With any luck we will not all be told to have faith in the one true God and his son Jesus this year.
Pledge of Allegiance – Harry Gravell 7:10pm
Okay.
Welcoming Remarks – Gov. Minner 7:15pm
My Prediction: Horrible droning delivery of forgetable pap.
Subdivision Awards – Insurance Commissioner Denn 7:35pm
The only upside to Minner is that she will be the perfect opening act for Denn. He took this role two years ago and knocked it out of the park.
Healy Award – Lt. Governor John Carney 7:45pm
Okay.
Remarks- State Treasurer Jack Markell 7:55pm
This should be interesting. With Biden on the agenda, Jack might feel the need to reign it in a bit. I hope not. My motto is: The more Republican bashing the better.
Introduction of Sen. Biden/Presentation of Bayard Award 8:10pm
– Senator Tom Carper
Carper won something? I demand a recount! Okay. I get it. Carper is introducing Biden. The introduction will suck.
Keynote Remarks – Sen. Biden 8:25pm
Biden kills in this kind of set up and he’s been practicing like mad for two months so he will be on fire tonight.
