Sen. Hillary Clinton will address the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.
DENVER, Colorado (CNN) - For six hours and with at least 60 speakers, Democrats will focus Tuesday on a theme of "Renewing America's Promise" at their national convention. The headliners - Sen. Hillary Clinton and former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner - will deliver full-length addresses. But most of those appearing at the podium will have four minutes or less to get their message across to a sometimes less-than-attentive crowd. The podium parade will feature 40 officeholders, including two mayors, 13 governors, 14 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 11 senators - nine of them women. The only state official on the list who is not a governor is California State Comptroller John Chiang, who is known for his clashes with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The remaining 20 speakers are primarily nonpoliticians, including a flood victim and people who recently have lost jobs or are about to be laid off. Filed under: Democratic National Convention |
