VP Watch

For those steeped in the denial that allows them to hope Hillary Clinton's announced Tuesday night speaking date at the Democratic National Convention meant that the vice presidential candidate's traditional speaking slot had been moved, here's the final evidence that there won't be an Obama/Clinton ticket this year, courtesy of my talented colleague Marie Horrigan.

Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) have announced Clinton will be the keynote speaker on Tuesday night of the convention, while the as-yet unnamed vice presidential candidate is scheduled to accept the nomination on Wednesday night.

In a conference call Monday with reporters, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Obama campaign adviser Anita Dunn said that Clinton will speak Tuesday night, Aug. 26, on the theme of "renewing America's promise."

The following night, the vice presidential candidate is scheduled to speak.
