S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley to speak at GOP convention

North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue has yet to hear if she's speaking at the Democratic convention. But her South Carolina counterpart -- Gov. Nikki Haley -- will be among the headline speakers at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

The Tampa Bay Times reports this morning that Haley will join former GOP presidential candidate John McCain, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Ohio Gov. John Kasich as a featured speaker.

GOP chairman Reince Priebus called the lineup "some of our party's brightest stars, who have governed and led effectively and admirably in their respective roles."

Democrats earlier announced their headline speakers. Along with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, they include former President Bill Clinton, Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren and First Lady Michelle Obama.

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will give the Democratic keynote. Republicans have yet to announce their keynoter, although New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been mentioned. Jim Morrill

What in the wide wide world would they want Bev Perdue saying at the convention. The dems are in enough trouble as it is.

The Republicans are as hard up for speakers as the Democrats are.

So will Nikki be speaking before or after she has affairs with lots of men at the RNC?

I hope they insist Romney releases his tax returns. He is looking like he is hiding something. He is not a very strong candidate as it is and more and more he is becoming questionable. What is he hiding? He embarrassed the nation when he went on his overseas tour. They guy is just gloom and doom. I just don't see a compelling reason to support Romney. He wants to be president to serve himself - not the people of America.

Here's old Bev's speech ----"Like I was telling Barrack while we were out back sharing a Lucky Strike..."

We need to tax a lot more and spend like mad.
