Everyone sees the rooms and the speakers…

but nobody takes note of all the work that goes to making it happen:

Never forget that an awful lot of people are working very hard so that you can enjoy CPAC. Never take it for granted.

Here are some shots from the GOP Grass roots conference that I didn’t get a chance to get up this weekend.

I’ve already started my CPAC interview and will be uploading shortly.

Just picked up the cannoli this morning and we are on the way to DC and CPAC

Palin has it right on CPAC

In my opinion you don’t cede the ground on a position to a different side, you show up and make your case.

I don’t have a problem with those who choose to boycott CPAC, Its their call but I’d just as soon not have the case for marriage conceded. I would think that the hearts and minds of thousands of conservatives in one place, hundreds of bloggers and etc are worth fighting for.

Although I am a Catholic I have to be with Jerry Falwell on this: “I’ll preach in hell if they promise to let me out.” or if you prefer one of my favorite movie reference:

British Captain: “I understood Mr. LaFitte was in command at Barataria.”

Jean LaFitte: “If your offer is good it will stand up under fire.”

The arguments for marriage are good, they stand up under fire. We should go to CPAC and make them.

Update: Lisa Graas who I respect a lot takes the opposite view: Sarah Palin has it wrong on CPAC
