Is there any high profile GOPer we can have address our convention?

[WI_DEM]

I ask this becuz that turncoat Crazy Zell Miller is addressing the GOP convention
http://www.msnbc.com/id/5295871/

They may not be Republicans but they certainly come from the #1 GOP family-- I wonder what would happen if we asked Ron Reagan, Jr and Patti Davis to address the Democratic convention if they would consider it? especially if we put in our platform a call for a huge appropriation for stem cell research?

1. Lee Iaococca

I'm sure there are many others.

2. Ben Stein!

9. Ben has turned from his Evil Ways?

I don't think so.

[mstrsplinter326]

19. Ben...

He's an extreme conservative ECONOMICALLY. But also ENVIRONMENTALLY and in terms of resources and American jobs.

True conservatives don't vote for Bush.

3. Not high profile but not less so than Zell, I guess

PA Treasurer Barbara Hafer switched from Rep to Dem last year while in office. Looong time Rep.

4. My Lord...why would we want to?

I can't think of anything ANY Repuke has to say that I want to hear. Much better to give the time to a good Democrat to say something worthwhile.

5. Ron Reagan ....

that would be a blast

[chimpymustgo]

7. And, he is a very engaging speaker.

Definitely put RR on the list.

13. He's not a republican, but I bet he'd do it.

He supports Kerry for the same reason many of us do.

21. I dunno about Ron Jr

But maybe Nancy Reagan would, if given the opportunity to talk about stem cell research.

Wouldn't that be a coup!

10. God, that's BEAUTIFUL!

8. Lowell Weicker

& I bet he would too.
I saw him on stage with Howard Dean back in the fall.

(not sure if he's still offficially a Republican, but he was when he was on the Watergate committee....)

11. Not a repug, but how about Jeffords?

[janx]

14. Jeffords would do it. I got a fundraising mailer from him recently--

he's raising money for John Kerry.
