Conservative Republicans are energized and ready to continue winning more seats following the wins by NJ's Governor Christie, VA's Gov McDonnell plus that huge win by Senator Scott Brown in MA who now fills the People's Seat of MA previously held by Ted Kennedy.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney was a surprise guest this afternoon who brought the House down with his comments about Obama being a one-term President. We will post some of the speeches as they become available.

This time last year, pundits were predicting the end of conservatism and the Republican Party.So-called conservative columnists like David Frum, formerly of National Review, and David Brooks of The New York Times were warning conservatives that something was wrong with their beliefs.

But Dave Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, was predicting that President Obama would overreach and help Republicans return to power.As the elections in Massachusetts, Virginia, and New Jersey demonstrated, Keene was dead on.

This week, Keene presides over the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where a 28 percent increase in registrations over last year underscores his optimism. With more than 10,000 conservative activists attending this year, CPAC has moved to Washington’s Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, where the ballroom holds 2 1/2 times more people than at the previous location.

Besides speeches by the likes of Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Liz Cheney, and George Will, CPAC features panels focusing on issues, workshops on campaign techniques, booths run by 96 co-sponsors, and receptions and dinners.
