Republicans say Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman will speak on Tuesday at the Republican National Convention.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had been scheduled to give the keynote address. But Thompson and Lieberman will take the podium instead. Republicans say the two will talk about McCain’s biography and their friendship with him.
Rudy Giuliani would be too much “red meat” for the GOP partisans.

Stay tuned….
