Shocked at CPAC: Conservatives are Not Old Coots!

Posted by Eric at 12:33 pm. Filed under: General

Chris Nolan, the token liberal at CPAC (sitting next to LaShawn), has this to say about the attendees.

But they’re very nice and well-mannered. They’re also very young. If you’re thinking conservatives are a bunch of old coots longing for the days of black-and-white TV, women staying home and minorities in their places, think again.

This is a young crowd. Young as in youthful. “I just took whatever they gave me for graduation,” says the nice young man sitting across from me. He’s talking about his laptop. It’s a contrast to the post-election Democracy Rising party I attended in Berkeley a few months ago. That room was filled with grey hair in part, of course, because hair colorists are an unknown species in that little town. This room – this convention by contrast – is filled with fresh young earnest faces. And lots of blondes.

This isn’t just a digression on cosmetics. Young faces look ahead. Not back.

Lots more CPAC blogging here.
