Howard Dean has told MSNBC that Bob Casey Jr. --who will be Sen. Bob Casey Jr.--will speak at the next Democratic National Convention. I probably don't need to recount how Gov. Bob Casey Sr. didn't get to speak at the convention because of his stance against abortion. I'm sure the intraparty politicking over what he'll say about abortion has already begun.

Now the buzz is that Rick Santorum--who will be former Sen. Rick Santorum--may speak at the Republican National Convention as a (current or former) presidential candidate. We'll see. Bill Bennett thinks so. I'm more skeptical about that scenario, though I do wonder what Santorum will do now.
