GOP convention's Monday night schedule


Here's the speaker list for Monday night at the GOP convention, with John Boehner kicking things off at 7:45 PM.

a. John Boehner

b. Florida Gov. Rick Scott

c. Reince Priebus

d. KY Sen. Rand Paul

e. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers

f. Artur Davis

g. Ted Cruz

h. Nikki Haley

i. Mike Huckabee

j. Mrs. Luce' Vela Fortuno (wife of Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno).

k. Ann Romney


So... by my count, fewer than half of the speakers are white men, and of the white men who do speak, all (except for Mike Huckabee) come at the beginning; not during primetime.
