Speakers and events galore!




Who wouldn't want to start their day out with Kentucky's favorite Republican Majority leader, Senator Mitch Mcconnell? Well after seeing him I didn't particularly care to, while he had some interesting things to say, he was not very charismatic. Rep. John Boehner who spoke before him, was a much better speaker. After that we scrounged around the exhibits before going to the Young American Foundation luncheon where the speaker spoke about the importance of media and what our party need to do to get together. Our food was amazing, a gourmet salad with mandarins, Salmon over something, and a wonderful piece of layered cake with a raspberry on the side. After lunch I visited the job fair, and while the name was a little misleading because most places weren't looking for employees but interns instead. It worked out, but after that I hit up the booths for free candy and went to watch some speakers!! The first speakers talked about conservative activistism around the country and then we heard about how Obama's tax policy will kill entrepenurship. Both acts were hard to compete with the next act of Ron Paul. He was rather interesting to listen to, and the crowd responded well but the it was all a warm up for Mitt Romney. The crowd ate up every word he had to say. We finished the day off by skipping out early at the Club 100 recpetion and with amazing Italian food from next door.
