RNC speakers announced 8/14 UPDATE: Christie to keynote; Rubio to introduce Mitt

LOL, they invited a guy who was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud. What a bunch of crooks.

Rick Santorum was the clear runner up in the 2012 primaries. To exclude him is a disgusting, inexcusable snub of epic proportions.

Well, Pat Buchanan is the only runner up to be robbed of the nomination in the modern primary system. Every other Republican nomination besides 2000 has gone to the incumbent President, and if there's no incumbent Republican, it's gone to the runner up from the previous competitive primary.

Sorry if this is already somewhere else, but this seemed like the thread for it...

Chris Christie will be giving the Keynote Address.

Oh, dear.  He will excite the base and possibly reel in some independents, but he has the potential to overshadow both Ryan and Romney.  That's not something the Republicans need at this point.

Yes, he'll have a big shadow.
