Scheduled speakers

Former Vice President Al Gore, who knows a thing or two about what the final convention night is like for the Democratic nominee, will address the stadium crowd. Although Gore, 60, has been out of electoral politics since losing the bitterly contested 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, he has stayed firmly in the public eye, and drawn wide attention and a slew of awards - including the Nobel Peace Prize - for his activism on global warming. He is also cofounder and chairman of Generation Investment Management, a sustainable-investing firm, and cofounder and chairman of Current TV,a cable and satellite-TV network for young people based on viewer-created content and citizen journalism. The former vice president and his wife, Tipper, live in Nashville.

Others scheduled to speak include:

Bill Ritter, Colorado governor

Ed Perlmutter, Colorado congressman

John Salazar, Colorado congressman

Diana DeGette, Colorado congresswoman

Mark Udall, Colorado congressman and Senate candidate

Howard Dean, Democratic National Committee chairman

Tim Kaine, Virginia governor

Richard J. Durbin, Illinois senator, who will introduce Obama

Convention fact

The last time a presidential nominee delivered his acceptance speech outdoors was in 1960, when John F. Kennedy did so at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Some more acceptance-night trivia: In 1972, most people never heard nominee George McGovern's speech at the Democratic convention in Miami Beach; he didn't deliver it until 2:30 a.m. The delay was due to a long roll call for the vice presidential nomination in which votes were spread among scores of candidates. Harry Truman, at the 1948 Democratic convention in Philadelphia, fared little better, stepping to the podium for his acceptance speech at 2 a.m.

Music to their ears

Entertainers Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, and Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am - re-creating his "Yes We Can" Obama music video that became an Internet hit - will perform at Invesco Field this evening as the convention draws to a conclusion, CNN and Politico reported yesterday. CNN also reported that singer-actress Jennifer Hudson would sing the national anthem. The Democrats had yet to announce full details for today's Invesco Field extravaganza.

No rain delay?

The weather is not usually a concern when it comes to the summer conventions. But given today's outdoor event, Democratic planners are undoubtedly breathing easier now that the forecast in Denver is for sunshine and a high of about 82 degrees.
