Kleiman had a good suggestion: Chelsea for keynote speaker. At first I thought this would come across as obvious pandering, but then I decided it was a very good idea. She's a young person, the next generation--the future, and a woman.

Not to mention the Clintons' daughter.

Wouldn't hurt, but do you really think this will buy anything with Billary?  I'm sure they love their daughter and all, but remember Hillary thought it was more important to make political buddies with John McCain than to shun him for making a horrible joke about Janet Reno being Chelsea's father.

That's creative thinking.  I don't know if she would have an obvious rationale for speaking, but involving her in a youth outreach program or something would be both smart and an act of good will.  She could definitely talk about the challenges facing her generation at the convention.

Maybe Chelsea can go onstage and talk about exactly how much she's made with that hedge fund she works for from oil futures and commodities futures. Maybe she's already got already got her first million.

No, I think Chelsea shouldn't be change. The kind of change that well-scrubbed young lady knows about is the "your hand to mind" kind of change.

I guess that would make some sort of sense.

What absolute idiocy. Ms. Chelsea Clinton is part of the family perpetrating the treachery, she's a participant. You might as well have her mother or father make the keynote speech. No one owes them anything. They are losing fairly and squarely, Obama certainly hasn't dished out more crap than she has. Let's hope enough super delegates now get behind Obama so Florida and Michigan can be seated, which will be the Clintons' consolation prize for being so affable (Bill), charming, friendly, supporative and, above all, loyal to the party (no more compliments for Mr. McSame) and all the rest. With the Clintons in a dual vice presidency slot, Obama will be burnt toast. I see the whole problem as the fault of the Democratic Party which is afraid to call the Clintons on their game. Or will the three Clintons turn around tomorrow and embrace Obama?
