Is it Still Biden?

28 CommentsTonight, we learn about who is speaking on Wednesday in less than two weeks:
The headline prime-time speaker on Wednesday will be Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential Nominee.
…
Former President Bill Clinton will speak on Barack Obama’s commitment to a stronger and safer America, as well as the history of Democrats making positive change in the lives of all Americans.
Governor Bill Richardson and Senators Evan Bayh, Joe Biden and Jay Rockefeller will echo Obama’s call for a new direction in national security and outline his policies and plans to secure America’s future.
One of the greatest security challenges facing the country today is reducing our dependence on oil, especially from foreign sources. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will discuss Barack Obama’s plans to make America more secure by investing in smart energy policies.
Senator Ken Salazar, the Convention’s home state Senator, and House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn will also speak as part of the Securing America’s Future program.
A bedrock component of Obama’s national security plan is increasing our support to active duty military, veterans and military families. Representative Patrick Murphy (D-PA) and Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth will lead a tribute honoring those who give so much to secure our nation’s future.
In the parlor game that is the Vice Presidential nominee sweepstakes, it has been an assumption that if a person is scheduled to speak at the convention, then that person is no longer under consideration for the ticket. That was everyone said when Hillary Clinton was given her own night to shine on Tuesday.
So, if we continue with that assumption, favorite son Joe Biden appears to be no longer in consideration to be VP, for he is now scheduled to speak. Who is left that is not scheduled to speak?
