The Republicans had Clint Eastwood, 82, and the empty chair. The Democrats are going in the opposite direction with a line of “surprise” celebrity speakers, all female, all under 40.

Eva Longoria, 37, is scheduled to take the stage after Caroline Kennedy. Also rumored to appear are actresses Scarlett Johansson, 27; Natalie Portman, 31; and Kerry Washington, 35.

There’s been a moment of FOO and there will be moments of EW&F and Mary J. Blige.

Charlie Crist didn’t do so well. But, there’s a lot of focus on Veterans tonight. They even played the Obama got Osama card in prime time. Senator John Kerry  started the Vet’s salute off. There many Vets in the audience sporting the various garb worn by the band of brothers and sisters.   John Kerry nailed Mitt Romney as a flip flopper.
