Just did an interview session with Bill Frist. Nothing very important to note other than he soundly like a Presidential candidate. He gave a less than rining endorsement of Chaffee. We’ll see how it plays out. I will post the audio soon.

Audio of interview

Ann Coulter just finished speaking. She was over the top as usual. I will lay off on the commentary.

Let us know what you would like to see covered for the rest of the conference or interview you would like to see done by emailing me at markdharris@gmail.com. Coverage of Frist, Coulter, and Mehlman coming up today.

Jim Gilchrist stopped by the bloggers row and our contributor Nathan did a short interview with him. Audio is below. Gilchrist had run in the special election for California 48 to replace Rep. Cox. He recieved 25.1% of the vote.

Unfortunately, technical dificulties caused the interview not to record, but Gilchrist emphasized how important it was for the GOP to address immigration as an issue or else it risked losing a lot of votes among the conservative base.

Greg Parke, Republican candidate for Senate in Vermont, has been milling around CPAC. He is in a two-way Republican primary to face avowed Socialist Bernie Sanders (I).

Sanders is heavily favored in the race.

Bloggers row…

Rick on the radio yesterday

Let us know what you would like to see covered for the rest of the conference or interview you would like to see done by emailing me at markdharris@gmail.com. Coverage of Frist, Coulter, and Mehlman coming up today.

Just did an interview here on the floor with Chris Finnigan, National Director, of Students4Allen (can we just start using the words instead of numbers, but I digress…). The audio is below but it was clear that Allen is maneuvering behind the scenes to setup all the structures he needs to make a succesful presidential run.

He is speaking at the dinner tonight, but is not making the rounds shaking hands, which to me seems like a major mistake. If I were his folks, I would have him out glad handing these CPAC folks, they are the ones that make the party work and he will need them in the primary.

Anyway, here is the audio of the interview.

Amen, John, Amen

Here is the audio of his speech. Unfortunately, a vote was scheduled on the floor so the interview didn’t happen.

Wow Rick just took Hillary out to the woodshed on partial birth abortion. He is on fire.

I interviewed the National Chairwoman of “Americans for Dr. Rice”. She is heading up the Draft Condi movement. She dipped and dodged on the life issue, as you can hear on the audio link below. She again was focusing on the Bush-esqe point that “Condi can win” and the inability for “extremists” to win.

The problem is that they are rallying around the persona of Condi not actually issues that are going to move our effort forward. I’ve been impressed by their presence hear and all the Condi buttons, but when push comes to shove I don’t think this party is going to nominate a pro-choice, Bush linked candidate. What say you, Save The GOP readers?

Interview Audio

This thing is really cool…

Just did an interview with Randy Graf for Congress, he did a good job talking about his race and why our previous article about him, which he had read, was incorrect. He displayed an impressive grasp of the issues and I think that he could be the guy for movement conservatives in this race. More still needs to be known of course. I was slightly disappointed that he only has $30,000 cash on hand, but he claims endorsements from half the state legislature and Congressman Franks.

Audio is here to judge for yourself.

Guess who is in this chicken suit…

This organization has been pushing to build the Buchanan fence

Newt Gingrich has a bunch of people out in redshirts pimping his new book and his speaking appearance on Saturday.

Another booth where you can vote who should be impeached from the federal judiciary. Who would you vote for?

“Guest worker programs are the nigerian email scam of America”

The talk so far has been about how guestworker programs create a stratified and divisive society. I think it is interesting that the speakers are focusing on how bad the programs are for immigrants. A “compassionate” conservative take on the issue.

Our contributor Stephen Braunlich is out supporting his former operation Students for Life.

A new book is coming out called Size Matters, which is by Joel Miller and is all about how big government is bad government. Sounds like a good read to me!
