The Democratic convention committee has released the names of more speakers who will appear at the convention on Wednesday night, the theme of which is “Securing America’s Future.” They are: John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Jack Reed, and Richard Daley. I wrote last week that while many assume that “Securing America’s Future” night would be about national security, Democrats often categorize anything they want to do, like instituting universal health care, as a national-security issue. So it could be anything. I think the presence of Daley and Daschle suggests that the evening will be more broad-ranging than just national security.

Now, the veep candidate will also speak Wednesday night. Any clues in the lineup? Not particularly, except that it’s likely that, when the v.p. candidate is added, the evening will be a bunch of senators and Mayor Daley.
