Hillary not speaking
The speakers lineup for the Democrat National Convention in Boston has
been released and Hillary Clinton is not on the list. However, her
husband, Bill, is the opening night speaker.
The NY Times reports that the Kerry campaign stated:
"She never asked," said Stephanie Cutter, a spokeswoman for the Kerry
campaign. "Obviously, Hillary Clinton is a leader in the party and is
working hard to elect John Kerry." But Ms. Cutter said she did not
know whether each speaker, including Ms. Clinton's husband, had
formally requested time.
What’s this? It seems that she still could get a spot at the
microphone:
As for Mrs. Clinton, Lina Garcia, a spokeswoman for the convention,
said there was still a chance that Mrs. Clinton could land a role as a
speaker. "There's a possibility she could," she said. "There's a
possibility she couldn't."
