Titled "Country First," the Republican National Committee unveiled its convention speaking schedule yesterday, and the Illinois delegation didn't get much love. Only
North Shore Rep. Mark Kirk is scheduled to address the delegates
Monday night. Fittingly, he'll appear on the same night as President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Will he
talk about offshore drilling or downplay the number of insured Americans? Only time will tell.
The four nights are themed "service," "reform," "prosperity" and "peace." The Tribune's Swamp blog makes an astute observation:
Cindy McCain is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, prosperity night, which seems appropriate.
