Day Two of Club for Growth

Politics
Written By

Another great day here in Florida with the Club for Growth.  The very most principled members of Congress addressed us, along with a few other fantastic thought leaders and public policy wonks.  I am waiting until tomorrow is complete to editorialize and summarize, but here is day two as I live-tweeted it.  (Note - these tweets appear in the reverse order that they were tweeted ...  Because it is a mere cut and paste from twitter, the top ones are the most recent and the bottom ones were sent at the beginning of the day. )

Critics of Club4Growth bring up O'Donnell/DE but ignore Rubio/FL, Toomey/PA, Johnson/WI, & Paul/KY. Principled conservatism the only kind.

I've always liked John Thune, & still do, but based on fire/energy of his speech, I think it's best that he removed his name from 2012 race

Romney & his folks are all in on the "I am a businessman; I helped the Olympics" card. It is his best bet, I concur. But it's not enough.
