Two Buckeyes on tap as convention speakers

ST. PAUL - Two Ohioans will be among the featured speakers as the Republican National Convention resumes Monday evening after taking a day off while Hurricane Gustav bore down on the Gulf Coast.

Joining First Lady Laura Bush, President Bush (via satellite), Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson will be House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Jo Ann Davidson, former speaker of the Ohio House and co-chair of the Republican National Committee and chair of the 2008 Republican National Convention Committee on Arrangements.

Missing from tonight’s lineup of originally scheduled speakers will be former New York City Mayor Rudi Giulani, who was bumped from the program when convention organizers reshuffled the deck following Monday’s truncated session.

The balance of the convention’s programming is still being worked out, organizers said, although they expect a revised lineup soon.
