Biden And Bayh Both Speaking On VP's Convention Night

Two candidates rumored to be in the mix to become Barack Obama's running mate have been given speaking slots for Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, the convention committee announced Thursday. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., will both speak on the night of Wednesday the 27th, the same night as the eventual vice presidential nominee.

But before the veepstakes rumor mill, desperate for even the slightest hints, rules out Bayh and Biden as running mate possibilities, sources close to the process note that anyone penciled into a speaking slot could be shifted into the vice presidential candidate's slot later that evening.

The speeches of Bayh and Biden, who both possess strong foreign policy experience, will help emphasize the day's theme of "Securing America's Future". Biden is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, while Bayh sits on the Senate Armed Services committee and the Intelligence committee.
