With CPAC 2010 finished, media reports are swirling discussing Governor Palin’s absence from this event, which they billed as “mandatory” for conservative candidates for anything. Was it?

SRLC the Real Proving Ground for Gauging A POTUS Run...

Hindsight proves Palin’s foresight is 20/20.

"CPAC is practically owned by the Romney camp with the organization’s executive director in his back pocket."

"Indeed, one of the hottest pieces of swag at the event was giant Sarah Palin posters."

David Keene of the American Conservative Union chose the keynote speakers.

“Washington Insider David Keene Disses Governor Palin, Claims to Speak for Grassroots
“Keene’s ACU also puts on the annual CPAC conference in Washington.

.In the last three years CPAC has devolved into nothing more than
an annual love fest for the most established of establishment
Republicans, Mitt Romney. It should come as no surprise that David
Keene supported Mitt Romney in 2008. “

Well, if the Brokeback CPAC event is any indication of what we’re in for, I guess she did the right thing.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Another correct decision by Palin.Good for her.

(((PING)))

Keene wanted Governor Palin at CPAC, because she would have drawn many more participants, enhancing CPAC’s bottom line. Indeed, one of the hottest pieces of swag at the event was giant Sarah Palin posters. The entire batch ran out very quickly.

Most interesting!

Not good enough. Where is DeMint?

[biggredd1]

Sarah probably had a good heads up from her journalist friend in los angeles. Remember John Ziegler had a video of confrontation with the cpac creep? Good for Sarah for skipping this fake meeting of conservatives.

Those Sarah Palin posters were snatched up so fast, because those who wanted her image yearn for a leader to carry Ronald Reagan’s torch. None of the alternatives present could satisfy that yearning.

Sarah's poster packs a punch. ";^)
