Brent Bozell holding court in the lobby. By the way, he's nuts.
Here's more pictures I've snapped from my time at CPAC 2013 today. As before, each one is paired some notes about what's been going on.
Plenty of pics below the fold.
Taking a break.
The GOP-sponsored lounge in the exhibit hall, with chairs, couches, and beanbag chairs. It was generally lightly populated.
A main hallway; to the left you can see one of two banks of laptops set up for convention-goers to vote in the Straw Poll. Rand Paul won the poll by a hair.
Saturday was populated with big-name speakers, but even in the morning most of radio row had alreaady cleared out, leaving empty booths.
One of the fun handouts that get handed out at these things. The same group ("The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property") had a similar pamphlet called "10 Reasons Why Homosexual 'Marriage' is Harmful and Must be Opposed." They stood in front of their booth wearing huge, bright red sashes and generally giving off the vibe of people who were completely nuts.
Avoid.
By contrast, the GOP lounge was heavily stocked with these small, wistful-feeling stickers. There were only a vanishingly few people wearing them.
A wide shot of the Breitbart.com 'Uninvited' panel. It was popular, and heavily staffed by reporters who knew it was going to be quite the show. It didn't disappoint.
The Tea Party Patriots had the slickest presence, and multiple booths. This is the exhibition hall one, and that'd be a "Don't Tread on Me" t-shirt up there. Get yours now!
Nobody likes Chris Christie here. Ann Coulter started her (cringe-worthy) speech off with a Chris Christie fat joke.
