CPAC: Friday blogging

UPDATE 10:45 a.m.: Just heard that Ace of Spades will receive "Blogger of the Year" award today. Another vindication for the AOSHQ Lifestyle!

Just saw Saul Anuzis of the Michigan GOP, who says of John McCain, "He's our nominee." Saul gave a speech listing non-negotiable points on the conservative agenda and declaring to Crazy Cousin John that if he will stand up for that agenda, "We've got your back."

On the other hand, I also saw columnist Don Feder, who said: "No way I can vote for McCain."

We continue blogging live at the fabulous Omni Shoreham Hotel, where 6,800 conservative activists are recovering from the amazing first day: Vice President Dick Cheney's speech, Mitt Romney's stunning announcement, John McCain's speech (reviewed by Nice Deb).

Oh, and today President Bush gave a 7 a.m. CPAC speech.

Expect updates ....
