Clinton is tonight's headliner

DENVER (AP) - She's not the keynote speaker, but Hillary Rodham Clinton's primetime speech at the Democratic Convention will draw lots of attention tonight, especially from those still upset she's not the nominee.

Details on a roll-call vote are still being worked out, but one scenario would have Clinton cut off the voting and urge the unanimous nomination of Obama.

Last night, Michelle Obama told delegates she and her husband share with them the same hopes and dreams. She said they feel an obligation to "fight for the world as it should be."

Former president keeping a low profile -- for now

DENVER (AP) - Former President Clinton takes center stage at the Democratic convention in Denver tomorrow night, a night after his wife addresses the delegates.

But for now, he's keeping a low profile.

His spokesman says Clinton has been participating this morning in a panel at an international affairs forum.

The former president plans few other public outings, and no news media appearances.

Matt McKenna says that Clinton understands "this is Senator Obama's convention." He says Clinton is there to "do all he can to make Senator Obama our next president."

Asked whether the Clintons' star power could eclipse Obama during his moment in the sun, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "Absolutely, positively not."

Warner's bipartisan tone could rankle Democrats

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - When former Virginia Governor Mark Warner
delivers his keynote speech to the Democratic convention tonight, he plans to offer a lesson in Virginia-style bipartisanship.

It's a message some of his listeners may not want to hear.

Some Democrats are already complaining, saying Warner's job is to put a dent in Republican John McCain's image.

Warner's election as Virginia's governor in 2001 revived a moribund Democratic Party in a state where Republicans controlled every statewide office or elected institution of government.

Now that he's running for the U.S. Senate, Warner is appealing to independent and even Republican voters by billing himself as a "radical centrist."

But tonight, the party faithful may prefer to hear some fiery anti-GOP rhetoric instead.

As Democratic consultant Paul Begala puts it: "This isn't the Richmond Chamber of Commerce."

Three men, one woman arrested in possible plot

DENVER (AP) - Authorities are investigating whether there was a plot to assassinate Barack Obama, while at the same time saying there was "no credible threat."

Officials have arrested three men and a woman suspected of plotting to shoot Obama as he gives his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Denver.

Three senior FBI officials says it's unclear whether shooters could have had a clear path to hit the stage from outside the convention hall. The officials say at least two of the men may have white supremacist ties, adding it's unclear whether any of them was serious about carrying out threats.

One of the men arrested told KCNC-TV in a jailhouse interview that others involved in the case had made racist statements regarding Obama.

Asked if he felt there was a plot to kill Obama, Nathan Johnson said, "Looking back at it, I don't want to say yes, but I don't want to say no." Johnson says he wasn't involved in any plot.
