    Congratulations to West!

    Why did Mitt get slighted?

    By the way, it would be a neat trick to be in two places at one time.

    RWN,

    Because Mitt got the REAL PRIME SPOT. Just before the Straw Poll vote! He'll be the last they all hear on Friday before the voting starts.

    Do you think that's being slighted?

    I would think a high profile speaking slot on Saturday afternoon would be better than a slot on Friday morning, straw poll or not.

    Well, I personally think she's not going because of cash, and not a 'race'. That's not hate, it's an opinion shared by even Rick Santorum.

    Right Wingnut,

    You're kidding right?
    Why would Mitt want to speak AFTER THE VOTE?

    The straw poll doesn't mean much. Freaking Ron Paul won last year. So what. How many people will be watching at 10:30 AM Eastern on Friday? West will get the viewers and the press to go along with it. In fact, he's already getting a lot of press. If Mitt's only goal in attending CPAC is to win a straw poll, his priorities are in the wrong place. And, don't kid yourself. He would have jumped at the chance to give the keynote.

    Allen West is GREAT!

    I'm sure he'll give the SECOND BEST speech there.

    I think Mitt isn't wanting to draw a lot of extra attention to himself until he's ready to announce his candidacy.

    Allen West is a great speaker. I'd enjoy hearing him probably more than Mitt.

    Allen West will close out the conference in style.

    He is a true patriot and a great speaker.
