Tuesday 09-02-2008 12:28pm PT




ST. PAUL, Minn.

Republican officials said President Bush will address delegates via satellite Tuesday night, and former Sen. Fred Thompson and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent, will also speak Tuesday night. Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will probably speak to the convention Wednesday night, officials said. Gov. Sarah Palin, the vice-presidential nominee, is slated to speak on Wednesday night. For the entire schedule click here... http://www.gopconvention.com/
