Richardson to Speak at Invesco on Thursday

The good news: Bill Richardson will be speaking at Invesco Field on Thursday.

The bad news: Bill Richardson is scheduled to speak two hours earlier than he was scheduled to speak on Wednesday night.

Richardson will not get a prime time speaking engagement as it seemed he might be slated for on Wednesday night.  It turns out the applause for Bill Clinton went on a little bit too long and someone had to be bumped off the list; New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was the person bumped off the list.  

It couldn't have helped to see Tammy Duckworth speak while knowing that less than two weeks ago, Richardson was in the running for the top spot on Wednesday night's speech lineup: for the vice presidential candidate spot. Instead, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden got that position and speaking spot.

Richardson will instead be sandwiched between a speech by Martin Luther King III and a performance by will.i.am and John Legend. Yeah, Richardson is between a famous civil rights leader's son and a member of the Black Eyed Peas.

Even worse, the only cameras trained on Richardson will most likely be those of C-Span and PBS.  The rest of the news networks will most likely spend the time analyzing the upcoming Barack Obama speech.

Obama is scheduled to be introduced by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin. Other featured speakers are Vice Presidential candidate Al Gore and Susan Eisenhower, the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Stevie Wonder and Michael McDonald are also slated to perform.
