Townhall sent quite a few bloggers to CPAC and I interviewed several of them. Jillian Bandes was one of them:

…as right wing.
But that day will be when they decide that actual fact is more important than the narrative.
The problem with this type of tactic by the left is that with the invention and propagation of the internet the facts become available to the average American with very little effort and more importantly via blogs and e-mail they can be distributed with very little effort. Thus an attempt to play dupe the public fails under scrutiny.
Until the media actually starts to understand that they will continue to hemorrhage readership until like MSNBC they are left with a leftist core to sustain themselves. At that point their bias like MSNBC will simply serve to support and reinforce their niche market that remains as they fight for those few viewers willing to pay.
Until and unless they choose to leave their echo chamber they are doomed.
It would be a bit of a Haul for me to attend…

…a tea party in South Carolina but Katherine Jenerette was there and provided a few photos via her facebook account.

Local coverage is provided here:
Seven of the Republican candidates vying for the 1st Congressional District seat being vacated by Henry Brown spoke at the event, including Mark Lutz, S.C. Rep. Tim Scott, Carroll Campbell III, Stovall Witte, Katherine Jenerette, Larry Kobrovsky, and Clark Parker. Each repeated core principals of the tea party throughout the event, including smaller government, less spending, Christian values and a stronger national defense, often to a crowd-wide positive response.
As for Jenerette:
North Myrtle Beach resident Jenerette, a military officer who has run for Republican office several times, said she was running for Congress to stand up against big spending, complicated legislation, and to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution.
She also argued against firearms registration and conceal and carry permits.
It’s hard to stand out in such a crowded field, I think Jenerette’s decision to attend CPAC and to rub elbows with bloggers like myself was a very good move in that respect. That is a question of showing initiative. It would certainly have been worth the while of the other potential candidates to do so.
Of course being on the right side of the tea party groups never hurts either.

..he has the following to say about what he saw during his decade with Tiger:
“Every single person believed that I should know or did know or had something to do with it. I knew nothing, that’s my answer. I don’t have to clarify or extend that answer, I knew nothing. It would be very difficult as a caddie not to know but I’m 100 percent telling you, I did not know, and that’s that,” said Williams.
DaTechGuy blog has video of this interview…
That’s about it.
