The RNC today published their line-up of speakers for the convention, which opens on Labor Day.

I note that McCain's camp says that the speaker agenda is designed to highlight the "diversity" of the Republican party. I'm also amused to note that "peace" is a theme of one of the nights considering McCain's blind commitment to an ongoing entanglement in Iraq.

Here's the line-up, as published in the Washington Post:

Monday
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.)
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Calif.)
Cheney
Laura Bush
George W. Bush

Tuesday
Giuliani
Former governor Mike Huckabee (Ark.)
Former governor Tom Ridge (Pa.)
Gov. Sarah Palin (Alaska)
Gov. Jon Huntsman (Utah)
Rosario Marin, California Secretary of the State and Consumer Services Agency and former Treasurer of the United States
Former senator Fred Thompson (Tenn.)
Gov. Linda Lingle (Hawaii)
Former lieutenant governor Michael Steele (Md.)

Wednesday
Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.)
Meg Whitman, National Co-Chair for McCain 2008 and former President and CEO of eBay
Carly Fiorina, Victory '08 Chairman for the Republican National Committee and former Chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co.
Former governor Mitt Romney (Mass.)
Cindy McCain
Gov. Bobby Jindal (La.)
Republican Party's Vice Presidential Nominee

Thursday
Gov. Tim Pawlenty (Minn.)
Gov. Charlie Crist (Fla.)
Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.)
Sen. Mel Martinez (Fla.)
John McCain


For those keeping score on "diversity", this line-up is 75% male and 86% white.

And I can't believe how far Joe Lieberman has fallen.....
