View from DC
1. I got into DC late at night after working a long, hard day. Acey was already in town and I called him as my train pulled in to meet up for a drink. He said 'do you want to go somewhere good or do you want to meet us where we are?' Um....I met them where they were. The bartender thought I was a 15 year old runaway hanging out with older men (or something) because he id'd me and wouldn't serve me a beer.
2. I got to CPAC and as I was going through security, Senator Rick Santorum walked in holding his presentation that he was due to deliver in minutes. The security guard, totally unimpressed, told him he had to go to the back of the security line. I let him cut in front of me, none of the awed teenagers behind me seemed to mind. Sen. Santorum, his aide and I then hurried around the huge Reagan center trying to find where we were supposed to be. He was really nice, and I felt kind of bad for cornering him during the convention to bother him for supporting Specter over Toomey.
3. Kevin from Wizbang is the man. Let me repeat that: Kevin from Wizbang the man. I am chronically challenged by computer problems. And, thanks to his tireless effort, I'm connected at CPAC and ready to go.
4. I saw Herman Cain and most of the Cain Senate campaign staff. I've worked on a bunch of campaigns and none have the same vibe as that one. All of us would drop what we were doing to go work on any race he would choose to run.
