Well, the truth is that it’s not as much fun for me as it is for other people, apparently. I have zero nostalgia for past CPACs, and I always end up catching a cold there. But this is going to ...

This is the only time I’m gonna be there, so if you’re there and you see me, say hi. …Which you probably would have done anyway. I’m over-thinking this, huh?

(H/T: Hot Air) I must say, this is a smart move: “As the American Conservative Union puts final touches on its annual political conference next week, they’ve offered potential Republican p...
…odd mood this year. Not as snarling as some, but the new location coupled with the ongoing controversies and mixed with the lack of a looming election cycle made it somewhat low-key for me.�...
My video camera is showing its age, the traditional Politician Migration Patterns were all messed up from CPAC being in a new site, and apparently my cell phone network has decided to go off the ...

Joy McCann has the details. Short version: CPAC 2013 will be at a site with better parking, much worse commute if you don’t have a car. I’ll add: expect a lot of complaining next year abo...

I forget why I needed to know about Syria at the time; it was getting blurry at the end. And I didn’t exactly enjoy myself at CPAC this year. Up at 5 AM to take a train in and be ready for ...

Florida is volatile, this cycle: the combination of redistricting, the adding of two seats, and the status of Florida as a battleground state has caused for a lot of jockeying for positioning and...
