Hosted by the American Conservative Union Foundation (ACU), the annual three-day Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gears up on Thursday at Washington, D.C.'s, Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.

Wish I could go...
Bachmann, DeMint and Mike Church *sigh*
leaving this morning for my fourth CPAC....I can’t imagine more people than last year...it was tough getting in to the general sessions.....hope they fixed it this yr.
I am concerned about the number of people too. I think by their having it at the Marriott this should alleviate some problems since the layout is better and there is better access to the main ballroom. If it still is overflowing then maybe I will head to some of the smaller meetings. In any case I am looking forward to it.
CPAC = RINO Central these days.
