All day today we are covering speakers and panels at the 34th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC. This morning, we'll hear from Republican presidential hopeful former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He will be followed by Reps. Scott Garrett (NJ), Tom Tancredo (CO), and others.

From the Duncan Hunter website -
"Peace through strength is my belief and conviction." DH
I also like - "Trust, but verify." RR
I'm counting on the replay, too! I saw a good portion of it but need it complete for my collection! I am recording CPAC from 1pm t the end, so I'll have Ann Coulter's speech at least! Haha! ;-)
Thanks. I thought that was what he said but you know, if you post anything the slighest bit wrong around here the hysterics have a field day.
I missed most of his speech. I hope they will replay later.
Of course not! You want him to commit political suicide on live TV?
He knows his audience,and played to them.
If you find out when it's replayed, please ping me to it! I need to TIVO it for when the kids are away.
I was almost crying when I was listening...a guy who gets it, a guy who can convey it and most importantly, THE GUY WHO CAN CARRY IT OUT! I am more hopeful today than I have been in years.
When you listen to candidates speak, they speak in generalities...we must have peace, we must have better education, yada yada yada..It's always the same. He talks about what we must do to succeed and, althout that sounds like a no-brainer for a candidate to do, we never really hear it. Think about it. I hope he can maintain this wave for a year. I pray he can maintain.
I loved that he addressed the social difference he has. He's right. You pick the most important and you go with that. And for those here who think that abortion and gay marriage is more important than the War on Terror, I say, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. Go follow your heart...go campaign for Duncan....But don't yell at me for wanting a President who will do everything in his power to save our country. Because to me...that's the issue.
Now your making me feel bad :(
A standing O, at CPAC? It's the end of the world!!! ;-)
After hearing Rudy follow Wayne LaPierre, I would hope that LaPierre would enter the presidential race. He certainly has a more dynamic presentation.
He did great. And given how he did in the strawpoll in the Bible Belt last night, he's going to do just fine.
Very good job summarizing the speech for those of us who are cube-bound. Thank you!
Heh...
The second part goes like this "...now hand over your firearms or you will be arrested."
My pleasure.
I just wished we hadn't lost audio there toward the end.
If the campaign is on the ball, they'll have this up on YouTube asap.
I think so; my screen was pretty dark and I have a small television in this study and was typing, but I thought I saw them standing.
Can anyone else confirm?
Yep. I just think that it's gonna come back to bite him.
Bears repeating.
Great idea! I was very impressed with the reception and to see so many young people not only listening but applauding. They understand Rudy is a leader! Most people like to hear speakers filled with optimism and how they can make it better which is what Rudy is all about.
Young people today don't wanted to be pandered to and want politicians who tell them the truth and let them decide. I have two kids in college who are perfect examples of that along with their friends. All are big Rudy supporters.
