There are three points of interest, besides Sen. Clinton, on today's DNC schedule. Our own Gov. Rendell is slated to speak between 8 and 9 EST, and Sen. Casey is up sometime between 9 and 9:30 - ish EST.
The pledge of allegiance, shortly after 5 EST, is being given by Kobe Langley, described in the program as:
From Fort Mead, Maryland, he received the Bronze Star for leadership in the US Army
Credited with design & implementation of 1st Foreign Torts Claims Policy Act - Iraq
Those who have read Congressman Patrick Murphy's autobiography, Taking the Hill, a few times (and, really, who hasn't?), or those who followed him in the early stages of his 2006 congressional campaign, may remember the name. Langley appeared at several events on Murphy's behalf. When Murphy went to Iraq it was to replace Langley as the leader of a Brigade Operation Law Team, and the two overlapped for a week's transition. Like Murphy, Langley is Catholic and was part of the 82nd Airborne. I hope they have a chance to catch up with each other at the convention.
The full DNC schedule is available online, just remember to adjust for the time difference. Those who prefer their convention coverage unmarred, uninterrupted, and unedited, can watch a live stream at www.cnnpolitics.com
