Clint Eastwood tabbed RNC 'mystery speaker': Report

If you're not a fan of former American Idol'er Taylor Hicks, who performs tonight at the Republican National Convention, all that was really left to get excited about was, well, Mitt Romney's big speech and the identity of the so-called "mystery speaker" sandwiched between Hicks and the Republican presidential nominee.

On Wednesday we discussed reports actor-director and Romney endorser Clint Eastowood was on his way to Tampa to make an address. U.S. news takes us one step closer to confirmation.

"It's him," Romney's former Arizona state chair and family confidante Paul Gilbert told the Washington Whispers blog. "I can confirm that, 100 per cent."
