ST. PAUL -- On a conference call with reporters this morning McCain campaign manager Rick Davis updated tonight's schedule, which he described would be "a little bit more political" than last night's.

The line up with a rough time line (all times central):

7:30 - Meg Whitman
7:50 - Carly Fiorina
8:00 - Michael Steele
8:15 - Mitt Romney
8:30 - Mike Huckabee
9:00 - Rudy Giuliani
9:30 - Sarah Palin

The theme of the evening, said Davis, will be "reform and prosperity," focusing on "harder issues," like trade, the economy, health care and energy issues.

Davis also responded again to questions about Palin, calling the media focus on her family a "frenzy."

"Certainly her record deserves scrutiny," said Davis. "But we need to look at her record." He called some of the questions, based off of Internet rumors, "inappropriate" and asked the media to "start looking at the balance of the their coverage," suggesting that mainstream media is subjecting Palin to tougher scrutiny than the Democratic ticket.

"Everybody can dial it back," said Davis.
