Rick Santorum
The right-wing standard-bearer from Pennsylvania straddles
a difficult divide: throwing rhetorical red meat to restive
hard-core conservatives without reminding them of the
reasons (soaring government spending, a moderate convention
lineup, etc.) they’re agitated in the first place.

Elaine Chao
As the designated poster girl of the GOP’s ballyhooed
“compassionate conservative” wing, the Asian-American
Labor secretary steps forth to argue that the party is
receptive to the needs of minorities, women, and workers.

Michael Reagan
The syndicated radio talk-show host and son of the late
president tries to undo the damage wrought by his Bush-bashing
brother at the Democratic convention and get the Reagan
wing of the party excited about W. This is a no-stem-cell
zone! |

Kerry Healey
The female lieutenant governor of Massachusetts paves
the way for her boss, Mitt Romney, softening his upcoming
Kerry attack to make it more palatable for women who like
expansive federal programs and might be turned off by
the harsh “Ted Kennedy liberal” broadsides.

Mitt Romney
The telegenic governor of Massachusetts (Kerry turf) has
two goals: offer Bush an East Coast moderate’s seal
of approval, and present an I-was-there take on Kerry
as a wild-eyed, tax-and-spend liberal. |

Zell Miller
The conservative Democrat from Georgia stages his one-man
show—I Only Call Myself a Dem Because If I Switched
Parties I’d Be Just Another Republican Hack—
before its biggest audience yet. Watch GOP message machines
spin so hard about the party’s bipartisan inclinations
that they levitate. |

Lynne Cheney
The vice-president’s high-strung wife faces an uphill
challenge: convincing an increasingly skeptical America
that her dour husband has a soft and tender side. Maybe
they should have asked daughter Mary to speak instead.

Dick Cheney
The embattled but defiant veep does the heavy lifting,
bashing John Kerry on everything from his voting record
to the height of his bouffant, even as he drives home
the point that the Democratic challenger is woefully unqualified
to lead the nation in dangerous times. |
