Electrifying

Not much time to blog right now, but thought it was important to provide at least a brief report on the first day of the Americans for Prosperity Defending the American Dream Summit - Right Online Conference at Universal Resort in Orlando.

Loaded up a bag with literature from exhibitor booths.  Met a lot of fellow bloggers, whom I'm now following on Twitter.

Breakout sessions in the morning.  One on how the left uses its conferences and tech savvy, and what we can learn from them.  Panelists: Francesca Chambers, Patrick Ruffini, Michael Moroney.  Next up, social media activist bootcamp with Erik Telford, Jason Cline, Abigail Alger and Melissa Clouthier.  Then "Get Past the Gotchas" with Dana Loesch, Lars Larson and Tom Jenney.  Learned a lot about how to stay in control of a debate and frame a message in terms of the point you want to make.

After lunch, the opening session of the Summit.  Nonstop thunder from Bobby Jindal, Rick Scott,  David Koch, Marco Rubio, David Horowitz, Rick Perry, Arthur C. Brooks.

Fabulous, all, but for me, the real lightning crackled when Horowitz not only upped the volume level but spoke plainly about just who the Most Equal Comrade and the Freedom-Haters are.

Now, off to dinner with the Indiana AFP folks and then a party in the park at which Michelle Malkin will speak.
