Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (between 7-9 p.m.)

Former Gov. Mark Warner (between 7-9 p.m.)
Virginia’s former governor and current Senate candidate is considered a rising Democratic star because of his success in a former GOP stronghold. Warner occupies the same keynote-speaker slot that Obama enjoyed four years ago as a rising Democratic star.
