Well now, among the 5 newly announced speakers at the GOP
convention next month in Tampa Bay are none other than our newly nominated US
Senator from Texas Republican nominee, Ted Cruz and Wisconsin governor Scott
Walker.
Cruz will represent the burgeoning Hispanic voter population
of the southwestern states, and Walker will represent the UberRight White
People of the Great North.
Sarah Palin, who worked so hard to stump for this TEA Party
darling over the “more moderate” David Dewhurst (and I am kicking myself writing
this) has still gotten the big snub.
Nope, imagine that, Sarah Palin, representing 900,000
Alaskans, will not get the nod to speak at the convention.
My guess, though, is that Cruz will not be given a prime
time spot in this three-day America-Hating Love Fest. My guess is that the
prime speaking times will be allocated to the best and brightest of the party –
all twenty watts of them. This is because, according to my understanding, the
big 3 broadcast networks have allocated only one hour per night to the
Republican Convention. A total of three hours.
In the end, this will probably only serve to help the party
of the eternally out-of-touch, because it will severely curtail appearances by
the lunatic fringe of the party, which are more numerous than ever. What the
casual American observer of the political scene will see, therefore, will in no
way resemble what has become the norm in this election cycle.
And that can’t be all bad for Republicans.
