Tim Kaine

The fourth and final day of the Democratic National Convention will be called to order at 5:00 PM EST on Thursday, with a theme of "Change You Can Believe In."

The final day's events will take place at INVESCO Field at Mile High, where over 70,000 people are expected to attend.

Featured speakers will include Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter (D), former Vermont Gov. and Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean (D), New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D), U.S. Rep. and U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D), former Vice President Al Gore (D) and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D).

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the Democratic presidential nominee, is scheduled to address the convention at 10 p.m. EST.

The full schedule is below.

In an unusual primary move, Barack Obama’s presidential campaign held a conference call for Nevada reporters with Va. Gov. Tim Kaine today, in which Kaine announced the creation of a 600-member group of “Nevada Republicans for Obama.” 

The call, intended to highlight Obama’s cross-party appeal and general electability, was considered strange by some Nevada political analysts and immediately drew comment from N.Y. Sen. Hillary Clinton’s Nevada campaign chair, Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid.

“As a governor of a ‘red state,’” said Kaine, “I know the thinking of independent voters and I know the thinking of moderate Republican voters.  I could tell, as I looked at the field of candidates running for president in 2008, that that core of voters who are so critical in Virginia and, frankly, in most states would be very open to a Barack Obama candidacy.”
