Giuliani out as Keynote
After reforming the Republican National Convention schedule to accommodate relief efforts for Hurricane Gustav, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) is out as the GOP’s keynote speaker. Giuliani was slated to speak Tuesday night.
In his place are Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.).
Lieberman vowed on CNN that he is “not going to spend any time tonight attacking Sen. [Barack] Obama” during his speech.
President Bush also may be speaking after pushing back his scheduled appearance Monday night.
UPDATE 11:30 a.m.: Bush will be addressing the convention tonight via satellite from the White House.
