Who Is The RNC Mystery Speaker?
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting story (emphasis in original):
Republican convention planners appear to have a surprise planned for those tuning in Thursday night.
Buried deep in the convention schedule released Monday is a vague reference to a mystery speaker scheduled for the event’s final evening. “To Be Announced” has a prime speaking slot late in the Thursday program.
By then, speakers from Mitt Romney’s church will have taken the stage that night. The co-founder of Staples office-supply chain will have spoken about working with Mr. Romney during his time at Bain Capital. State officials from Massachusetts will have talked about the former governor. Olympians will have already thanked the presidential candidate for leading the 2002 Winter Games.
The only other speakers to follow “To Be Announced” will be Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Mr. Romney himself, suggesting that the unnamed guest may appear during the 10 p.m. hour when the networks all will be broadcasting the convention.
As I like to say, let the speculation begin!

Sounds like a vague allusion to Donald Trump's new Hair Club for Men.

It's the ghost of Ronald Reagan! Or maybe Abe Lincoln, vampire hunter!

Possibilities:
1) Video recording of George Romney or Ronald Reagan. They won't go as far as doing a Tupac-style hologram, but we can dream.
2) GWB
3) George Obama
4) Clint Eastwood
5) Schwartzkopf
6) The P90X guy
7) Bo Obama

My guess, some 2002 gold medal olympian or a person like Clint Eastwood.

The glamour of celebrity does work. One Clint beats ten George Clooneys.

Seems like there is a consensus that we want a Clint atonement for that Super Bowl ad.
It would take guts for an Olympian to risk endorsements by coming out.
Perhaps R. Lee Ermey...

And I hope to heaven it is NOT Arnold. I just enjoyed watching him in The Expendables.
Unfortunately, how you treat your family dies matter. His extra curricular activities with his maid, and their son raised in the same househokd with Maria, is just too cruel. Arnold at the convention will really add a log to the Women's Issues fire.

8) Breitbart. A Tupac-style hologram would be OK.

Re: Who Is The RNC Mystery Speaker?
It's gotta be Joe Biden.
See, this was in the cards all along, but the Secret Service spoiled the surprise by blabbing that they were Biden's advance team in Tampa.
So they quickly "cancelled" the trip, to preserve the secret.
In his speech to the RNC, he'll announce that he's quitting the Obama ticket cause he can't get no respect, Obama has chosen Bernie Sanders (proud member of the Socialist party) as his new running mate, and because of this Biden will endorse Romney for President.
In exchange, Biden will be named Ambassador to Pluto in the forthcoming Romney administration.

It could be the 2002 good will ambassador Christie Yamaguchi. I guessed an Olympian because before the "to be announced" the speaker is "Olympians". So it will seem logical that they might have it be some big time Olympian, I guess it doesn't really have to be from the 2002 games.

A George Romney video is a great idea. If they didn't think of it, they should've. It would illustrate that this isn't the Romney Family's first rodeo.
