Let's just move away from the 2008 election to focus on another big choice for Democrats. That is, who should give the keynote address at the Democratic Convention in Denver? This may seem like a small matter, but it is still interesting to discuss.
In my opinion, Scott Kleeb should give the Keynote Address at Denver.
Here's why:
- He's charismatic, so he should energize the convention and captivate the T.V. audience.
- Right now he's running behind in the polls. If he gives the keynote address, the free air time would give him some important momentum that could help make the Nebraska Senate race more competitive.
- His humble roots and populist demeanor would help project the right message that Democrats need to win in 2008.
- The political fortunes of keynote speakers receive a boost if they do a good job. From what I've seen of Scott Kleeb, I want him to go places! He represents the grassroots politics that this country needs.
So, your thoughts?
Update:
Here's a clip from Scott Kleeb's victory speech in Feb.

Scroll through the videos to get the longest clip. He's not Barack Obama, but he is still an extremely passionate speaker.
Update 2:
After watching Rick Noriega on YouTube, I have to say that he now ties with Scott Kleeb as my first choice for the keynote address.
