Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and his wife Ann wish a happy birthday to South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (L) in front of supporters supporters while visiting his campaign headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina, January 19, 2012. South Carolina will hold its Republican primary on January 21, 2012.

WASHINGTON - A trio of female firsts and three former GOP presidential contenders are among the first speakers disclosed for August's Republican National Convention.

The GOP convention schedule is packed with high-profile names to fire up divergent wings of the Republican Party, from social conservatives to fiscal hawks. They will speak ahead of Mitt Romney's formal acceptance of his party's presidential nomination.



Convention leaders were not ready to announce the keynote speaker, a prime speaking slot that has the potential to catapult a rising member of the party to national prominence.

The schedule's outlines were first reported by The Tampa Bay Times late Sunday and were confirmed to The Associated Press by Republican officials with direct knowledge of the plan. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because convention officials had not yet announced the schedule.



South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the first female governors of their states, are among party leaders slated to address the gathering that begins Aug. 27. Martinez has the additional distinction of being the first female Hispanic governor in the country.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the first black female to hold that job, is also scheduled to speak.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona was set to speak, as well as a one-time rival, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The two, along with Romney, vied for the 2008 presidential nomination, with McCain outlasting both Romney and the former Baptist pastor in the primary campaign.

a
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who briefly ran for the GOP nomination in 2000, also was set to speak at the convention, as was Florida Gov. Rick Scott, whose state is host to the event. Both are tea party favorites and are set to speak to fiscal issues many Republicans hold dear.

"They are some of our party's brightest stars, who have governed and led effectively and admirably in their respective roles," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in prepared remarks. "These speakers — and those that will be announced later — will help make it a truly memorable and momentous event."

Republicans are holding back on announcing other speakers, including the keynote speaker.

In 2004, a little-known state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama used his turn at the Democratic National Convention in Boston to catapult to national prominence and — four years later — the White House.

When someone is announced as keynote speaker that could indicate that Romney has decided against that person as a running mate.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are both big names in the party believed to be among those Romney is weighing for the vice presidential slot or for the keynote address. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio also were noticeably absent from the slate of announced speakers and may be contenders for running mate.

If passed over for the vice presidential pick, there is a very good chance they would earn speaking slots — if not the keynote.

The speakers already announced suggest where Romney is looking to make progress as voters start to pay attention to the fall campaign.

The all-important female vote clearly is a priority — evidenced by the choices of Haley, Martinez and Rice. Polls through the spring showed President Barack Obama outpacing Romney among female voters, although strategists from both parties say that gender gap is narrowing. A strong play for female voters at the convention should be expected.

Haley, who backed Romney in her state's first-in-the-South primary, is the youngest sitting governor in the country and her husband will deploy to Afghanistan next year. So she will probably have a strong message for military families, as well as for younger voters.

Martinez, who made history in her state and nationally when she was elected, could appeal to Hispanic women, a sizable demographic that broke for Obama four years ago. She can also address voters who feel securing the nation's Southern border is a top concern.

And Rice, an academic who was President George W. Bush's national security adviser and later secretary of state, could appeal to working women and those who put the United States' security as a top concern.

Some suggested she would be an excellent choice for Romney's running mate but conservatives in the party led a revolt, citing her support for abortion rights.

Romney, with limited foreign policy credentials, needs leading foreign policy figures like Rice to vouch for him.

Another prominent voice on foreign policy, McCain, will speak up for Romney.

The Senate veteran, who was a prisoner of war during Vietnam, remains among his party's most visible figures. His dislike for Romney has apparently faded since their primary fight four years ago.

"In these challenging times, America needs Mitt Romney in the White House," McCain said in a statement Republicans planned to release Monday. "The Republican National Convention in Tampa will help give us the momentum to get him there."

Another GOP rival from 2008, former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, also will try to help Romney.

Huckabee's appeal among social conservatives has not shrunk and his backing is likely to help evangelicals who have been slow to warm to Romney and his Mormon faith.

Among tea party supporters, Romney will get a boost from Kasich. His home state of Ohio is a linchpin of Romney's strategy and no Republican has won the White House without carrying the perennial Midwestern battleground. No Democrat has won without winning Ohio since John F. Kennedy won the presidency in 1960.

Florida is another key state for both campaigns' path to the White House. Florida's Gov. Scott will address the convention, customary when the incumbent governor's party hosts the convention.

Democrats have rolled out their own convention schedule in recent weeks. Marking a first for Hispanics, the Democrats chose the mayor of San Antonio to deliver the keynote address in Charlotte, N.C.

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will deliver the high-profile, prime-time address on the convention's opening night, Sept. 4. First lady Michelle Obama will also address convention delegates that night.

Democrats also announced that former President Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, the party's popular Senate candidate in Massachusetts, will have prime speaking roles at the convention on Sept. 5.

Vice President Joe Biden and Obama will speak in prime time on Thursday, Sept. 6, the convention's final night.

Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic, but......

I'd love nothing more than an ugly floor fight and the REAL GOP [as if they still existed] wage a challenge to this lying, feckless, pompous, pathetic JOKE of a candidate Mittens.


:gulp:

I know we say this ever 4 years.....but this is the worst POS they've offered up in history.......

[Satan]

If the convention was in any other state, I'd say it was possible.

But this is Florida, and the BCE is still very much in charge there, and they are 666% behind their frequent business partner Mittens.

A Devil wouldn't be at all surprised if Jeb was making contingency plans to neutralize any possible "uprising" from the Paulbots.

[BigBadBrian]

Nice title Lounge, you're what....11 years-old now? Go back to the bamboo.

Mittens is taking foreign policy advice from Darth Cheney, John "Nuke the UN" Bolton, and other PNAC treasonists. And he's currently bankrolled by Sheldon Adelson, who is 100% behind the NuttyYahoo paranoid plan to declare war on Iran, regardless of the cost.

Political suicide isn't their objective. World wide genocide is.

The thing is Ford, you have to have AIPAC's blessing to win the presidency. When Britain, France, and Israel invaded the Sinai to control the suez canal Eisenhower told them to get the fuck out. Then Israel got smart, they created one of the biggest lobbying organizations in the US and you can't win the presidency without it. Israel always needs a threat to justify us giving them all the money we do. The current flavor of the week is Iran. Obama got the Jewish vote last time but with him giving Israel the cold shoulder and saying Israel needs to go back to the 67 borders, he blew it. No was are they going to back the guy now. That's the straight truth. Republican or Democrat AIPAC has you by the balls.

Good luck winning the presidency calling Israel a racist state which it really is. You will be quickly labeled an anti-semite and anti-defamation league will use all their slick PR to make you look like the biggest racist on the planet. This is the game like it or not.

Both Obama and Romney are trying to get votes any way they can. Romney is kissing up to the Jews because Obama is now weak there. This is going to be the election of voting in the lesser of two evils. Nobody is really hard for either candidate.

[binnie]

I'm a little behind on my US politics - has Romney announced who his Vice Presidential candidate will be yet?

[Nitro Express]

The strange thing about George W. Bush was I checked his record in Texas out and asked a lot of people who live down there whether they liked him as governor. What I saw was fairly positive. Then the guy gets in the white house and is a total disaster. One problem was George W. Bush was a hands off president and let others take over. You had Dick Cheney in charge with probably Jim Baker in the back ground. W. let these guys have and do whatever they wanted.

Mitt is definitely a hands on guy. The buck will stop with him. He will be more like Bill Clinton who studied the presidency and kept on top of it. Obama like George W. is nothing more than a puppet president.

Nope... latest speculation is that he wants complete media whore attention when he does, so he's waiting until next Monday, when the Olympics are over.

If Romney actually wanted to unite the Repuke party, and have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting back any fence sitter votes that Obama arguably stole from Repukes in 2008, he would ask Ron Paul to be his VP.

Of course it will never happen, because Ron Paul is categorically opposed to the very thing which Romney's bankrollers, advisers, and BCE string pullers want more than anything: War with Iran.

[FORD]

Duh.

Look Russia is saying enough is enough with Syria. An attack on Iran would be the end of Israel. Israel is already dying a slow death because the Palistinians are reproducing faster than the Jews are. Israel always needs to have an enemy to justify all the money we give them so they have to make Iran look like some kind of menace and to get elected who wants to win the presidency has to pretend they care.

This may be what is said on MSNBC, but it is COMPLETE bullshit.

The United States Coast Guard began prepositioning resources in a ring around the expected impact zone and activated more than 400 reservists. On August 27, it moved its personnel out of the New Orleans region prior to the mandatory evacuation. Aircrews from the Aviation Training Center, in Mobile, staged rescue aircraft from Texas to Florida. All aircraft were returning towards the Gulf of Mexico by the afternoon of August 29. Air crews, many of whom lost their homes during the hurricane, began a round-the-clock rescue effort in New Orleans, and along the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines.

President of the United States George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in selected regions of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi on Saturday, the 27th, two days before the hurricane made landfall.

"On Sunday, August 28, President Bush spoke with Governor Blanco to encourage her to order a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans." (Per page 235 of Special Report of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs)

Within the United States and as delineated in the National Response Plan, disaster response and planning is first and foremost a local government responsibility. When local government exhausts its resources, it then requests specific additional resources from the county level. The request process proceeds similarly from the county to the state to the federal government as additional resource needs are identified.

Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, decided to take over the federal, state, and local operations officially on August 30, 2005 (THE FUCKING DAY AFTER KATRINA HIT), citing the National Response Plan. This was refused by Governor Blanco who indicated that her National Guard could manage.

Ubama is devout socialist. His mentors were supporters of communism. Ubama is a professional shit stirrer. Nothing more.

Federal jobs have INCREASED to 11.7%. This is a problem because INCREASED government spending reduces private-sector investment. Makes it tougher to create jobs.

The debt was $10.626 trillion when the Kenyan Houseboy took office; now over 15 tr.

Housing dead. Socialist program. Commie lib idea.
Wimp Republicans begged for reform of Fannie and Freddie, knowing the housing market was going to collapse, and they were called racist and liars.

Another socialist is a trustee of social security appointed by Barry testified before the senate stating Social Security and Medicare will be bankrupt in seven years.

Commie lib idea:
Socialists tax oil when it is pumped from the ground, when it is shipped, when it is refined and when it is shipped again, when it gets to the fuel pump and when it is pumped. 65 to 80% of the cost of fuel is state federal and local tax.

GM outsourcing jobs to Mexico after shit stain buys out GM.

GE opening plants in Mexico and China.

2.1 billion to Brazil for oil.

Trillion-dollar spending and debt package commie libs called economic stimulus. At least 1.5 million jobs have been lost.

Dow Jones?
Commie libs caused the money crisis and now want to take credit for a tepid upswing. Banks got bailed out along with Wall Street. The very people socialists profess to hate.

You can't have it on both sides of your president.

Under Obama, a Record Decline in Government Jobs
By FLOYD NORRIS

When Barack Obama ran for president four years ago, he appalled some Democrats by saying Ronald Reagan had been a transformational president.

Three years into his presidency, he has exceeded Reagan in one area: reductions in government jobs.

Over all — including a decline of 12,000 public sector jobs in the Labor Department report for December — government employment is down 2.6 percent over the last three years, compared to a decline of 2.2 percent in the early Reagan years. That is a record.

That record, which will seem a dubious distinction to public-sector employees, is largely a result not of federal policy but of shrinking state governments. State employment fell 1.2 percent in 2011 — the largest percentage for any year since counting began in 1955. The number is down 2.2 percent over the last three years. It was up 1.2 percent during Reagan’s first three years, declining in only one of the years.

Local government jobs used to be deemed super safe. Since the federal government started tracking the statistic in 1955, there have been only six years when local government employment declined. They have come in threes: 1981, 1982 and 1983, the first three years of the Reagan administration, and 2009, 2010, 2011, the first three years of the Obama administration.

The declines were a little larger under Reagan. The local-government job count fell 3.8 percent under him but just 3.5 percent over the last three years. But if teacher employment is the measure, the cuts have been greater under Mr. Obama. Education jobs at the local level are down 3 percent under Mr. Obama, compared to 2.1 percent in the early Reagan years.

Federal employment fell 1.3 percent in 2011, but for the three years it is up 1.3 percent, while the total fell by the same amount in Mr. Reagan’s first three years.

The declines in government jobs in both the Reagan and Obama presidencies coincided with major recessions, of course, which reduced tax receipts for all levels of government. If Mr. Obama had had his way, state and local government job losses in 2011 could have been reduced with more federal assistance, but such proposals were blocked by Republicans in Congress.

There is no reason to think Mr. Obama is as happy about the reduction in government workers as some Republicans. But like it or not, the Obama administration has turned out to be anything but a big-government one.

Some other notes from today’s jobs report:

Manufacturing employment, the subject of my column today, rose by 23,000 jobs and was up by 225,000 jobs, or 1.9 percent, for the year. It was the second consecutive annual increase after 12 declines in a row. Construction jobs increased by 0.8 percent in 2011, the first annual increase since 2006.

Get Paul Stanley's hairy balls out of your face and fucking look up the definition of "socialism" while you're at it...

Nick, Do you remember Web Hubbell? http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/12/14/home/hubbell.jpg

Anyway nick, the Halfrican bastard added 140,000 workers to the Federal payroll in his first 18 months of office.

That's what you call a fact Nick.

The number of Americans on food stamps went from 26 million to 46 million in 2011.

The IRS added agents to enforce Obamacare. Same for DHS.

Ubama keeps expanding government and the funny secret is that the shit stain never passed a budget because it would cause him to acknowledge a limit to his power. A budget would limit expansion.

Nick, I'm not really sure what your problem is with Paul Stanley.
Paul has given to charities, performed for the US Military, the Make A Wish foundation, has a nice family, a huge bank account, drives a nice car, dated super models, has a beautiful wife, tours the world doing what he loves for a living, and is as good looking as I am.

Keep your mind on tweasing blackheads from Ubama's back while he takes a bath.

Web Hubbell now that's funny.

In other RNC news, Brighthouse communications has setup over a 1/2 million dollars in wifi equipment. The security is very tight around and in the Times Forum. CNN is on the main concourse and can't be missed. Our sound team brought additional lighting and audio gear. The security dogs inspected every bag, every case, every light fixture, and every person.
