From the Baltimore Sun:

The article speculates on Cuomo, but he's already said that he's too busy to attend more than one day of the convention:

(part of his apparent strategy to avoid the national spotlight, and keep the 2016 speculation to a minimum)

Governor Kasich has not had a very successful term so far.

Can't help but notice a certain high-profile woman missing from that list.  Has a speaking slot been confirmed elsewhere, or will she just introduce her husband?

Edit: Actually Hillary is missing too, so we know it's not intended to be a full list of female speakers.  Never mind.

Eva Longoria?? When was the last time a party convention let a B-rate Hollywood actress address a nationally televised audience in prime time? And that's a serious question. Has this been done before, by either party?

Reagan, except he was an actor.

Oh yeah...that silly actor-turned two-term President and one of the most beloved ex-Presidents in history. Forgot about him.  (http://www.gallup.com/poll/145064/kennedy-highest-rated-modern-president-nixon-lowest.aspx) (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2011/09/jfk-reagan-clinton-most-popular-recent-ex-presidents.html)

I was joking. Obviously it isn't the same. Same with Olympia Dukakis.
