Question is: Is Sarah relevant? She already came out and said that she understood McVain endoursing Mitten’s. I believe she is about to jump the shark.

I was behind her and gave money to her but I believe she is has become a money machine. She is laughing us to the bank.

Also, Ron Paul is too busy bussing his “students” to other states to register, campaign, and vote for him. So that crowd may miss CPAC.

“She is laughing us to the bank.”

The worker is worthy of their wages.

As long as Palin is out there pounding out the conservative message I have no problem with her making some green.

You, however seem to be envious of that.

Thinking of you right away!

Thanks, FRiend! Yes, my husband and I paid the big buck$$ for the CPAC 2012 Diamond Package (which we can barely afford) for good seats up front, so we expect to be only a few feet away from lovely Sarah!

I think the reason she is speaking at CPAC this year is because David Keene has retired as head honcho of the ACU. She and Keene definitely did NOT get along. She must have a good relationship with the new ACU head Al Cardenas.

We attended a Tea Party in Boston, MA on April 14, 2010 - Sarah spoke there, but we couldn't get that close to her... Surprisingly BIG crowd in liberal Boston. She looked beautiful, and was wearing a red leather jacket.

Lloyd and Syrcro... you guys were there - remember? ;-)

The dates of the CPAC Convention are Februaru 9 - 11 and if memory serves, Sarah Palin’s birthday is February 11, so I think she will deliver her address on her birthday!

Furthermore, I think it will be televised!

GO SARAH!

Whoa, cool! Good catch, onyx... that's right, Sarah's birthday is February 11!

I'm nearly certain her speech will be televised. I've always noticed that the Fox News crew (usually Molly Henneberg and/or Carl Cameron) is at CPAC, especially on the closing day (Saturday), and they do televise the Keynote (closing) speech.

C-SPAN is always at CPAC as well, but I'm pretty sure Sarah's speech would be run live on Fox News.

I hope you're right, but I doubt it. We go to CPAC every year... the Paulistinians are always there. They hijack the CPAC Straw Poll, and are loud and obnoxious during all 3 days of the conference.

Many of them are borderline insane... I'm not kidding. Several walk around with weird signs hanging around their necks, shouting "End the Fed!" and "Ron Paul! Ron Paul!" to no one in particular. Weird bunch.

CSPAN for sure and likely CNN. Not so sure about Faux, but CSPAN will be online too and then also stored and available immediately afterward in their Library.

LOL. I could do without those two also, but it is what it is! Ann will deliver some nuggets, despite being in the tank for the Massachusetts moderate.

Another big reason (perhaps the main one) why Sarah refused to appear at past CPACs: Sarah had a huge dispute with ACU head David Keene. He insulted Sarah, but now I can't remember the details. Keene retired at the end of last year's CPAC; Al Cardenas is the new ACU head honcho.

I hope you're right about GOProud getting the boot - they had NO place at CPAC IMO.

YES. Keane retired and I'm sure you're right that he was “one” of the primary reasons she never accepted the annual invitations.

I am so happy you're attending! Somehow, I just “knew” you and your husband would be attending again this year! WOO-HOO dear nutmeg! The Diamond Package! You can get some superior pictures.

We will have the LIVE threads as always and closing day's with Sarah's speech will be huge! Such excitement.
