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

11:55 a.m. On voting for the person not the party

11:45 a.m. A video of a question on Unions:

11:39 a.m. During Q & A about running for low offices and going to high offices: “Invest in the office you are in so that the people will want to promote you to higher office.”

11:20 a.m. Next speaker: “Starting now if you are thinking of being elected you need to do one thing every day. Many times simply listening is enough let people know you are interested in what they say.” “That which unites us is greater than that which divides us.”

11:17 a.m Healey mentions he is a Yankee fan, that got a few moans (:c)

11:15 a.m. Chris Healey Conn GOP chairman on the economy: “We all know what the situation is. We all know people out of work.” “Do not let one democratic lie go unanswered.”

The running for office panel

11:10 a.m. The speakers make it a point that you have to get to know the people and knock on door after door, sounds like selling radio time.

The Crowd at the Running for office breakout session

11:00 a.m. Inside the running for office breakout session a great crowd in here.

The Twin City Tea Party folks with Mary Z

10:55 a.m. Lots of Fitchburg Gardner Leominster folks here

Mary Z and Frank in the hallway

10:50 a.m. Ran into Tom Wesley whose Radio show will be premiering tonight

Pulled in around 10:45 a.m. the parking lot is full.

Today we are doing the show live at the GOP Growing Grassroots 2011 conference in Milford Mass. I will be driving down this morning and updating during the day as time permits.

I guess we know what books Sarah Palin reads

via Sissy Willis:

There’s a whole army of patriotic Davids out there across this great country ready to stand up and to speak out in defense of liberty, and these Davids aren’t afraid to tell Goliath “don’t tread on me.”

That’s just one line (Sissy has more here) but consider.

That is the second time in under a month in a major presentation that she quoted Glenn Reynolds (the other was the blood libel line from his WSJ piece).

Can we assume that Sarah Palin reads Glenn Reynolds? (Some enterprising radio host should have him on his show.)

Glenn Reynolds draws between 250,000 and 500,000 hits a day and gets 30-60 posts up per day EVERY DAY. If Sarah Palin is quoting him them perhaps a wise reporter would get to know him, or a smart producer would have him on the air.

Then again I don’t expect much from the MSM, supposedly the NYT was there and couldn’t even get her meeting people after the speech right

Prospective candidates, particularly if they are courting supporters, routinely sit through dinners and mingle with guests. But in her case, Ms. Palin entered the room only for her speech and left immediately after.

Actually Palin stayed and took photos with attendees as was announced at the start of the speech. If they can’t get that detail right when they were supposedly there why would I expect them to follow-up on this kind of story.

You know there is a reason why Instapundit took down the “NYT of bloggers” comment from his site. The times should work for the day when they can be called the “instapundit of newspapers”.

Update: Conservatives for Palin notices
