Care to show us Palin endorsing and campaigning for Mitt Romney?

She never did, but I do remember her making some begrudging statement that encouraged voters to vote Republican in the general.

She seemed to throw up a little in her mouth when she said it.

Thanks much for the “feet on the ground” report!

All the DC political types have armies of interns. They use them any way they want and the interns build their resumes. (I’ve learned that some wear blue dresses.)

Not surprising that Walker doesn’t know to play this game. It could be a disadvantage for him.

What do you think of Phil Robinson, and what was the reaction of the audience to his speaking about the Bible and Christ?

That was pretty much it.

That was only hours before election day. Her statement of supporting the Romney/Ryan ticket was put on Facebook on Sunday night or the election.

I can imagine that TGO gave a great speech. He is such an effective mouthpiece for the constitutional conservative movement. If only the Republican Party were constitutional conservatives.

I think Walker did very well considering that his people weren’t out there working the crowd. I was trying to give him a prop for doing so well without putting up a major front there.

Maybe if they’d of “worked it”, they could have displaced Paul at #1. But then, I’m not sure how many “gettable” votes are there versus most people being committed when they walk in the door. Who knows?

In addition to trying to work the crowds with supporters wearing buttons, t-shirts, etc., several of the campaigns had booths in the exhibition hall. So far as I could tell, Walker didn’t have a booth, either.

I think it says something that he did so well without “working it”. Maybe it also says something about what he could have done had he tried to “work it”.

She will support the Republican nominee. She urged people to vote for Romney.

everybody thinks this will go to Court and there's a good chance that they Administration didn't cross it's Ts and dot its Is to survive a challenge.

Sadly, at least 5 or 6 of the justices have little to no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law, or even the actual text.

I agree. I just got done watching both their speeches again. Phil said it best when he said we need to hang on to our bibles, constitution and guns. Without that we have nothing.

I wonder if Sarah voted for Gary Johnson as a protest vote? Perhaps she even (gasp!) “stayed home”.

Always helpful to hear a report from an attendee!

If Romney hadn’t dropped out and thrown his support to Walker, he’d have won CPAC like he already has 5 times already.

I know some old people who voted for Obama. Nothing like fools who are old fools.

He can’t win the nomination without our votes. It’s up to us to be savvy enough not to let the GOP steer their chosen prince into winning it.

Stay out da Bushes.


Exactly right.

Bush must lose in the primaries.

So you are just trolling the thread, and not being serious, useful, or meaningful.

You just want to get something going on Palin.

Populations of millions have exceptions, but those old people were the least likely to vote for Obama, so what is your point?
