Pat Henry (@thenewpatriots) August 28, 2012The Wall Street Journal reports that the revised Republican National Convention schedule contains “a vague reference to a mystery speaker.”
Russ Schriefer not giving anything up on mystery speaker. "If we gave you that information, it wouldn't be a mystery. Tune in!"—

A mystery? Oooh. The Twitter Bloodhound Gang is all over this one. Twitterers used two hashtags to investigate the unnamed speaker’s secret identity: #RNC2012MysterySpeaker and #GOPMysterySpeaker.
Drudge suggests Sarah Palin.
Is Palin Thursday's 'To Be Announced' Speaker? drudge.tw/To0n1g—

But some are doubtful.
Why in the world would the GOP's mystery speaker be some red meat conservative? Likely a prominent party elder or a Democratic defector.—

Herman Cain is teasing … Herman Cain.
#GOPMysterySpeaker on Thursday? Who could it be… caintv.com/ItsonPlusThurs… #tcot—

Perhaps it’s Hologram Reagan?
GOP surprise guest speaker: Hologram Reagan!—

If they can bring Tupak back to life via a hologram, maybe they can bring back Ronald Reagan to speak at the convention.—

Making digital film magic & having Ayn Rand or Ronald Reagan endorse Mitt would be awesome. Heh. #GOPMysterySpeaker—

Lots of ppl want Hologram Reagan for RNC surprise speaker. Low-tech vid replay of 1980 Reagan speech will do! youtu.be/RmmgVFByeaI—

Could the trail of clues lead to … Joe Biden? Unlikely. But we can hope, right?
It would be awesome if the RNC "mystery speaker" was Joe Biden, lured on stage with a bright shiny object.—

#RNC2012MysterySpeaker Joe Biden? "Is this North Carolina? Are my pants on backward? Is this stain noticeable?"—

#GOPMysterySpeaker Joe Biden will give a speech on why "jobs" is the most important 3 letter word in the dictionary.—

Other guesses:
Pretty obvious who "surprise speaker" is if you give it a little thought: Jenna Jameson—

Bigger “oh boy”:
Wait, didn't Donald Trump tweet awhile back about getting to unveil a convention surprise? Is he Thursday's speaker? #GOP2012—

Maybe the mystery speaker loves lamp?

Too soon, man. Too soon.
If there’s one certainty in life, it’s this:
If JJ Abrams ran the GOP convention, they'd never reveal the mystery speaker.—
