Clinton vs Biden: DNC Speech Hitmen

Tonight, two of the Democrats’ most vocal and vicious speakers will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. First to speak will be former President Bill Clinton, followed by vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden.

While it’s still up in the air what President Clinton will say in his speech (which wasn’t pre-approved by the Obama campaign), chances are he’ll come out swinging for his party and Barack Obama. Because he hasn’t said much leading up to the convention, this first-appearance of the general election campaign, I predict, will be used to lay the hurt on John McCain and his attacks in a way only a popular former President can do.

After Clinton comes Sen. Biden. Known for his long-winded speeches, attack-dog abilities and all around loud mouth, expect Biden to fire-up the base with line after line of why, as Speaker Nacy Pelosi put it Monday night, “Barack Obama is right and John McCain is wrong.” Expect the senator to define both himself and his role in the campaign as well as throwing rounds of punches at the McCain camp.

So, it’s safe to say they will both deliver barn-burners aimed at Sen. McCain. But which long-time staple of the Democratic party will hit the hardest, Clinton or Biden? We’ll just have to see…

Who’s will deliver the harder hitting speech?
