Thomas Daschle

Some people believe that the more prestigious timeslots for speaking at a national political convention come later in the week: the nominee addresses the convention on Thursday, and the keynote address is on Wednesday.  If that’s the case, then it’s good news for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Nevada Senator will speak at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.  Four years ago, at the 2004 convention in Boston, Reid predecessor Tom Daschle spoke on Tuesday night.
