Stacy McCain at the American Spectator event
Ron Paul answers a question
I asked Ron Paul what he thought the positive reception of his son, he commented that it showed that their small government views were popular.
One SE Cupp or two
SE Cupp was a popular choices for people in the vendor/book area
In the bloggers lounge with Tim Scott
Tim Scott was received well.
Haley Barbour talks to Jim Hoff
I managed to interview Haley directly after with WTH.
Dale Peterson outside the Bloggers lounge
Dale Peterson hopes to get some leverage as a write in on the straw poll. He’s an impressive fellow but there are too many comp folks here that owe favors for him to make the splash he needs, but he deserves attention.
How can you not love Ann Coulter…

…when she can write stuff like this:
(6) Are gay rights part and parcel with basic conservatism? If so, why are so many elected Republicans so skittish/unsupportive about the subject? If not, tell me why.
No, we don’t generally care for identity politics of any sort, much less hearing about people’s sex lives, even Nino Scalia’s. (And judging by the number of children he has, it’s pretty active.) Conservatives believe in individual rights, low tax rates, fighting terrorism and punishing criminals — so do gays! They also happen to believe Judy Garland was the most underappreciated and misunderstood person in the history of show business. I don’t think most gays care about gay marriage; they like going to the gay marriage meeting because it’s a good way to meet other gays.
I wish I wrote that
Can someone explain to me why…

…people swarmed the Sarah Palin impersonator and the Rent is too damn high fellow here at CPAC?
When she walked in I was in the lobby and she was IMMEDIATELY swarmed by every person and camera in sight. Media camera hit her as well. What are these people thinking?
I know what I was thinking, poor Dana Milbank, even Palin impersonators generate memeorandum stories. Somebody pull him away from the bridge.
Another "celeb" and another swarm
Another fun thing to do is ask reporters if they want to be interviewed they generally decline which is very funny because as a rule they make their living asking people questions.
I understand that Stacy McCain was making conversation with Maureen Dowd while she was trying to get in and that Maureen Down was in full “who are you talking to be talking to me” mode. That doesn’t speak well of Miss Dowd.
Anyway that’s what’s running through my head right now.
Update: I forgot about the video:
