NC Conservative Leadership Conference

A last post this weekend on the North Carolina Conservative Leadership Conference this weekend. I would like to once again thank the John William Pope Civitas Institute for inviting me and for putting together the entire conference -- it really was great and I'd love to do it again. It was difficult to live-blog that much for that long, but it was great fun (and in case you're wondering -- it was about 11,000 words in total during the live blog).

I also want to thank the various cosponsors of the event: The John Locke Foundation, The Jesse Helms Center Foundation, The North Carolina Family Policy Council, Americans for Prosperity Foundation, The North Carolina Education Alliance, The National Rifle Association: NC, The Christian Action League, The John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, and The Conservative Voice.

I'll be blogging more this week with commentary and reaction to the various forums, interviews, and people I saw. I also have a ton of pictures that I'll add throughout the week, too. At any time if you want to see all the posts from the conference, just click the link at the bottom of this (or any other conference post) that says "Filed at ... in: North Carolina Conservatives."

And I still like the overriding theme of the conference: we need to build coalitions and agreements on ideas. The conference was non-partisan, trying to advance conservative ideas.

1 Just have to say "AWESOME JOB,Ogre!"

I have been reading it all. Looks like it was a great time, and very educational.

2 Thank you. It really was a great time. 400 conservatives all in one place at one time really gives you a good feeling, too!

And it could have been 401 if you'd have been there...
