The third day of the Democratic National Convention will be called to order at 5:00 PM EST on Wednesday, with a theme of "Securing America's Future."

The day will begin with the nominating process for President, including nominating speeches for U.S. Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.), followed by a roll call vote.

The headline speaker will be vice presidential nominee, U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.).

Featured speakers will include President Bill Clinton (D), U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.).

The full schedule is below.

Recent news reports suggest presumptive Democratic presidential nominee U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) may be about to announce his vice presidential choice as early as Wednesday of this week. Much of the speculation has focused on U.S. Sens. Joe Biden (D-Del.) and Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), though it's unlikely either pick would bring a big financial boost to the campaign, since neither seems to have a large fundraising base in the state.

Biden received three $1,000 contributions from Maine donors in his 2002 Senate campaign, including from former ski resort owner Leslie Otten and CEO of Consumers Water Company, Peter L. Haynes. Ten Maine resident also contributed a combined $5,600 to Biden during his presidential campaign this past year. Bayh raised $1,500 during his 2004 Senate re-election race from two Maine residents, including $1,000 from the group senior vice president of Genzyme, David D. Fleming.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins believes that former presidential candidate and Sen. John Edwards (D-North Carolina) did have a child out of wedlock, according to her comments on a recent Q Morning Show interview.

Edwards recently admitted to having an affair.

The radio hosts brought up the topic before addressing energy and health care issues.

“I feel sorry for his family, because how horrible. But also don’t you think he is the father of the child?” Collins said on the show.

“Of course he is!” the host remarked.
