Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Who would you like to give the Keynote address at the Democratic Convention? [View all]DFW
(56,443 posts)Barack Obama (because we could use a reprise of 2004)
Adam Schiff (because he's brilliant)
Jennifer Granholm (because she's brilliant, too, and she can hold a big room in the palm of her hand)
Pete Buttegieg (because he's pretty brilliant, too, even if I speak more languages than he does! LOL)
Jay inslee (because has a great grasp on what challenges face us)
Bill Clinton (because he's a mesmerizing speaker, too)
I'm sure there are others. We have a VERY deep bench of potential speakers who can crystallize the number of things Democrats care deeply about, put them in terms we all understand, and do so with great eloquence. The keynote speech should not leave out mentioning the presidential nominee, which is why Obama heads my list. No one alive has worked more closely with him for longer, or knows him better. Obama's first keynote speech was one for the ages. If he gets a second one, I would bet that it would be any less so.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
