Hologram Reagan? Jenna Jameson? Who's the mystery GOP convention speaker?

The 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? http://t.co/TLouKdD0

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.

Perhaps it’s 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

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.
