A bunch of speakers for the upcoming Republican National Convention were announced today, including Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, Condi Rice, John Kasich, Rick Scott, Mike Huckabee, and John McCain, which means none of those people will be Mitt Romney’s running mate, according to the RNC. And while Chris Christie is rumored to be giving the keynote, that was not mentioned in the release. Interesting, maybe.
