Wow! never have I been caught off guard by such a series of surprises than I was today at the CPAC conference. Very first speaker was Marco Rubio, without knowing him and just knowing that he is running as anti-establishment I wrote him off as a teaparty wacko or a Ron Paul crazy, however I was caught off guard and was very impressed with him as an individual and a candidate. The US Senate will be very blessed if he gets in office. Our first surprise, though I predicted it (Tim), was by the one and only Vice President Dick Cheney. No real headline remarks, just the same old anti-Obama rhetoric. Nice touch being introduced by his Daughter Liz, a foreign policy expert. A rumor had begun to circulate that he would make an appearance thanks to Fox. Our next surprise came from Mass. with love. The newly elected Senator Scott Brown who won in a special election to replace Ted Kennedy came on before Governor Mitt Romney. This one came with no warning and was a great addition to the CPAC family. Lastly we heard from Leader John Boehner and NRA President Wayne LaPierre. Both were very inspirational and informative. It was definately a star studded powerhouse of individuals to start off the first official day of the conference.
