And delivered possibly one of the finest speeches I’ve ever heard at a CPAC. He called on the conservative movement to support John McCain if he continues to espouse the conservative views that he spoke of here yesterday.

Pence more than anything spoke as the leader of this movement in Washington, a role he has taken on in the last few years. And I think that without question, selecting Mike Pence as the Republican nominee for Vice President would be the strongest signal McCain could make that he acknowledges the important role that the conservative movement must play for him to be elected President in November.
