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.

…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:

Quick CPAC thoughts Thursday morning

The one advantage to not staying in the CPAC hotel is the internet connection.

The idea that Maureen Dowd couldn’t get into this room but I was able to get Marty Lamb is was appeals to me.

When Newt Gringrich came into the room the MSM waved around him, When Herman Cain came into the room the bloggers waved around him, that tell you an awful lot.

Next in the bloggers lounge

There are an inordinate amount of charming young women here that I would like to introduce to my sons.

Herman Cain is a hit

If you want to be noticed by the media, dress in colonial garb.

How Tabitha Hale manages to keep all the blogging stuff going is beyond me. The more you talk to her the more impressed you get.

Stacy McCain’s ability to find the combination of a Camera and a beautiful woman continues to have no equal:

Stacy McCain continues to make his wife jealous

I never knew midnight blue is a local elected official.

Saw Renee Ellmers at the blogger bash last night, she continues to be awesome, NC is very lucky to have her:

the Largo hotel internet was faster but its kinda lonely being the only cpac guy there.

There was a very ironic moment with the Atlas movie last night, I pitched my show and advertising to reach my audience that would be into the movie. They indicated they were look for non-paid publicity. Considering the movie and the topic I found it very funny. What would John Galt say?

I was very flattered that Victoria Jackson remembered me and said hello first.

victoria Jackson and Pam Geller

Today I’m going to spend a lot of time flogging the show. Wish me luck this is the big thing for me here.

After talking with Herman Cain I understand why Stacy McCain likes him so much

There is absolutely no question that he is an acceptable candidate to me for the presidency
