Strategy Memo: Yes, Virginia
Good Wednesday morning. Day three of Strategy Memo's mini-vacation and we feel recharged already. Virginia Senate candidate Mark Warner has been named the keynoter at the Democratic National Convention, which is driving some news this morning.
Warner was once considered a potential candidate for president in 2008, but he decided against a run before the race really kicked off. Still, he could be a potential future candidate. Consider the convention keynoter in 2004, a state senator named Barack Obama, or a spotlighted speaker (albeit not the keynoter) in 1988, Bill Clinton.
Today On The Trail: John McCain is in Livonia, Michigan, just west of Detroit, to tour an aerospace and defense company. Later, he heads to Birmingham, in crucial Oakland County, for a press availability. Obama is relaxing on a Hawaiian beach, while President Bush participates in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the White House before meeting Sameer Mishra, champion of the 2008 National Spelling Bee.
