Republican Convention's Mystery Guest Revealed?
I still say the mystery guest is the frozen corpse of Ronald Reagan rolled out onto the stage.
A well-placed Republican source tells Townhall that Oscar-winning director and actor Clint Eastwood will travel to Tampa, Florida to attend Mitt Romney's nominating convention this week.
As the news media scrambles to identify the so-called "mystery speaker" scheduled to address GOP delegates on Thursday evening, some have speculated that the iconic Hollywood figure could fit the bill.
Our source -- who spoke on the condition of anonymity -- could not confirm if Eastwood is, in fact, the intriguing "to-be-announced" speaker, but stated unequivocally that the Dirty Harry star will arrive in Florida late on Wednesday or early on Thursday, and will return to southern California on Friday.
Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month and backed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in 2008. He also attracted political buzz when he cut a controversial Super Bowl ad for Chrysler earlier this year, which some viewed as a tacit message in favor of President Obama. (oops!)
If he is the RNC mystery man, Eastwood would address Republican delegates just prior to Sen. Marco Rubio's introduction of Romney in primetime on Thursday night.

Young voters, I swear that if you don't roll your asses out of bed, I will make my way around the country, bitch slapping each and every one of you.
It's well known that Obama captured much of the youth vote in 2008. I am simply hoping that they actually go and vote again this time.
Of course, I live in Texas. I took Women's Studies and most of my class was homophobic and thought that being gay was a choice. Because "God" couldn't have made them that way.
In 2008, Obama EXCITED people. They wanted to get out and vote him into office. Now, they might want him in office, but they aren't just eager beaver to get out and vote.
I think that holds true for many demographics besides young people.
And all this fucking bullshit about trying to blocl voters in various states. It's terrifying.
