CPAC Will Have Little Influence on 2012 Iowa Caucus Candidate Field or Results
Caffeinated Thoughts ^ | 2/8/11 | Shane Vander Hart

Whether or not a candidate is participating in CPAC should not be a criteria for who is running in 2012 or predicting how they will do in the Iowa Caucus a year from now. One of my contributors, David Shedlock, has pointed out that the boycott of CPAC has done little to dissuade candidates from going to speak. That is understandable since it is still a large gathering with a lot of media and blogger attention and a chance to speak to a lot of conservatives in one room.

Seems like CPAC is working overtime to make itself irrelevant, at least to us.

A lot of faux conservatives in one room. And frankly, anyone who does go—Michelle Bachman, for instance—risks offending the base she depends on.

Not only that, but the Ron Paulites will probably descend on the convention in force again, and win the straw poll for Ron. Meaningless.

CPAC is dead to me now.
Letting the homosexuals in and letting them have a voice is not conservatism.
It’s a lefty communist agenda and why anyone would want them and want this open tent crap is beyond me

CPAC should be selling itself and informing the public on conservatism, bring people around tom our view as most of the country is.

Log cabins have changed their name since they were busted and found to be voting Dem so it’;s not GOproud, same people different names. and still some on the right as well as the establishment fall for it

Trust me, few Iowans know or care about CPAC these days. Their heyday is long over.

CPAC has turned into FUDGEPAC.
