Bayh and Biden Both To Speak on VP Night

Guessing who's going to be Obama's vice president is getting tougher but it sure is fun. With Senators Evan Bayh and Joe Biden speaking on the night of the vice president to be, one or the other or neither could be vice president! 

If we use a little deductive reasoning, the few people not scheduled to speak so far could also be Obama's veep: Sam Nunn, Jack Reed and Tim Kaine. 

CNN: The two senators widely believed to be at the top of Barack Obama's shortlist for VP have been given prime-time speaking slots at the Democratic convention Wednesday night — the very same night the vice presidential candidate is slated to speak.

According to the Democratic National Convention Committee, both Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden will deliver speeches on national security during the marquee night — the same evening former President Bill Clinton is also scheduled to speak.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar will also speak Wednesday evening, according to the convention committee.
