Who is the MYSTERY SPEAKER for Thursday night?

...the mystery speaker might be a Reagan hologram.

I wonder if they can bounce him around the auditorium like Q from Star Trek NG. One minute on stage, then sitting with the Maine delegation, then up on Wolf Blitzer's shoulders. Could be interesting.

They are BIGTIME shutting out Sarah Palin.

Yes, they shut her down right after she mentioned that Romney's strong arming was a bad idea, because it would create more support for a third party.

Palin or hologram Reagan (zombie Reagan).

Not the Palin - not going to happen. But the Reagan hologram....jokes would write themselves.

Clint Eastwood is practically a zombie himself. His voice has suffered the effects of aging tremendously in recent years.

I think she's right. She's been cut out of her Fox News interviews, I hear. The power of the media hath spoken.

I'm already picturing a Saturday Night Live sketch where Mitt is the caretaker at the Overlook Inn and Hologram Reagan is the bartender in the "I'd sell my soul for a drink" scene.

EDIT: sorry, that's from The Shining for those that haven't seen it.

EDIT2: Leno: "With popular clamor for transparent government, today the RNC made a step towards that by introducing translucent government."

EDIT3: Political cartoon of giant R2-D2 projecting Hologram Reagan on to stage at convention.

EDIT4: Leno: "The RNC experimented with having a hologram speaker at the national convention this year. With recent rule changes, they hope to have hologram delegates by 2016"
