Michael Bloomberg
Facing reelection next year in an overwhelmingly Democratic
city, the mayor delivers a deliberately forgettable speech
heavy with standard-issue New York boosterism—and
notably free of the words “Republican” or
“Bush.” |

Fernando Mateo
This up-by-the-bootstraps Dominican phenom made his name
representing livery drivers and acting as an ethnic pitchman
for local GOPers like Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki.
Today, the hometown boy finally finds the national spotlight. |

Dennis Hastert
The blunt speaker of the House (who recently chastised
New York officials for exploiting 9/11 for federal dollars)
explains why the next terror attack is more likely to
hit his home burg of Batavia, Illinois (population: 25,153)
than the city hosting his party’s convention. |

Zainab Al-Suwaij
We were convinced the GOP would find a “liberated”
14-year-old Iraqi girl to sing the National Anthem, but
instead, delegates will hear from one Zainab Al-Suwaij.
An Iraqi woman and longtime foe of Saddam who was frequently
showcased by Bush supporters as an Islamic voice in favor
of the war, she heads the American Islamic Congress, which
says it’s dedicated to “building interfaith
and interethnic understanding.” |

Jason Sehorn and Angie Harmon
Don’t expect repartee worthy of William Powell and
Myrna Loy, but the appearance of the former New York Giant
and his Law & Order wife just might help GOP operatives
add a dash of glitz to an otherwise charisma-deficient
evening (Ed Gillespie, Bernard Kerik). |

John McCain
The much-maligned GOP maverick swallows his pride and
tries to rally swing voters around the president. Tonight,
he’ll offer up his Vietnam-era heroism in service
of a dual mission; burnishing Bush’s credentials
as an anti-terror warrior while stoking his own political
chances for 2008. |

Rudolph Giuliani
In a speech that will refer to September 11 exactly 911
times, “America’s Mayor” will relive
his defining moment in harrowing detail, alternating attacks
on John Kerry with accounts of the president’s (and
his own) heroism. |
