Gov. Strickland goes “prime time” at convention
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is getting a prime time speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention at Denver on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Strickland will speak at 9:45 p.m., Ohio time - which is 7:45 p.m. in Denver. Earlier Strickland aides had said the governor would speak at 6:30 p.m., Ohio time - 4:30 p.m., Denver time. The new time slot is just before Sen. Hillary Clinton is to speak.
Doug Kelly, executive director of the Ohio Democratic Party, said the change reflects Ohio’s status as the “number one battleground state in the country.”
“Ted Strickland is going to deliver a strong economic message of how the Bush-McCain economic policies have hurt Ohio and make a call for change in leadership,” said a delighted Kelly, who learned of the change from a Dayton Daily News reporter.
