CPAC in a Word

GOP candidates spoke before the CPAC convention today in Washington, D.C. Just what is CPAC? Here is how the media describe it:

“… A showcase of the heart and soul of American conservatism”
– Los Angeles Times

“… Unmatched in both the numbers it draws and the quality of speakers who appear”
– The Politico

“ The nation’s premier gathering of conservatives…
a key event for conservative candidates ever since the first gathering was held in 1974.”
– NewsMax

How did the GOP candidates do presenting themselves to this influential conservative crowd?
Well, in a word, it went like this:

Mike Huckabee - uninvited!

Mitt Romney - quit!

John McCain - booed!

Ron Paul - cheered!
