LOL. Are you kidding? She is their biggest draw. I attended the conference, which set attendance records and included over 3,000 college students. Ann is a rock star. The room was filled with SRO and the overflow was larger than the number that was in the room. They were forced to watch on closed circuit TVs throught the hotel.
CPAC will do anything to get her to come back next year, including begging.
I wasn't there but I'd agree. Conservatives are so hungry for somebody with convictions and the spine to defend them that they'll crawl through glass to see them. All the RINOs, moderates and the civil, big-tent types have to pretend they have both attributes. Nobody is fooled but the other jellyfish.
