Notes from the Conservative Political Action Conference

The Takeaway

The 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) began on Thursday with speeches from Jim DeMint, Stephen Halbrook, Michele Bachmann, Anne Coulter, and  President Eisenhower’s granddaughter Susan Eisenhower, among others. With invocations of Reagan and cries for party unity, the three-day event could help give focus to what has been a lukewarm GOP race. Todd Zwillich, Takeaway Washington correspondent, reports on the division among conservative voters when it comes to supporting Mitt Romney.
