11:40 a.m.: Raul Labrador cracks a birther joke
Freshman Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) brought birtherism to the stage at CPAC.
Speaking this morning, Labrador alluded to the fact that he was born in Puerto Rico.
That still makes him an American, though, he said.
"And I do have the birth certificate to prove it," Labrador said, apparently making a reference to the belief, held by some conservatives, that President Obama was not born in the United States. Many of these "birthers" have called for the president to release his birth certificate.
Labrador was one of the biggest hits of the first morning of CPAC, pointing to his win as evidence of the GOP's increasing diversity.
Labrador was one of the surprise winners of November's election, overcoming the odds in both the primary and general election.

Million and counting to keep the LFBC hidden vs $15 to release it. Hey, Obamanomics makes sense to me.
I attended CPAC in 2008. Already the RINOs were making inroads, judging from the chants of “John McCain! John McCain!” and “Mac is back!” that I heard when the Copper State solon made his entrance.
