So, if it's Kaine or Vilsak, is Elizabeth Warren going to speak at the Convention? nt

*Practically* nt.

Does this mean that Warren graciously just 'stepped aside' for Bernie Sanders? If she's not going to be veep, I hope she at least speaks at some point.

Yes. The change in the public schedule was probably made in case she's the VP nominee. Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #7

The chances of Elizabeth Warren not speaking at the Convention are zero percent. (eom) StevieM Jul 2016 #8

Liz will speak. I have little doubt. And right wing heads will explode. For some reason they hate her.

Having said that, I just remembered we have a huge group of speakers the RNC didn't have with the time constrained to basically 12 hours....good prime time hours. We have president Obama, mrs. Obama, president Clinton, president carter, VP nominee, secretary Clinton, I assume Chelsea, Vice President Biden, senator sanders. I am sure I am leaving someone out. So now I'm not sure.

very BORING choices. Hillary needs someone who can shake up a crowd and bring them to their feet....neither of these guys has the ability to do that.

HRC will probably announce the VP on Friday or Saturday. Then there will be a detailed public schedule released shortly afterwards, with Warren either listed in the VP speaker slot or in another speaker slot.
