As some of you know, the Sam Adams Alliance (my employer) is hosting a conference for state-level bloggers from around the country. It kicked off last night with a terrific speech by John Fund about sticking to you principles even in the face of defeat. He noted that Ronald Reagan was ten points behind Carter in 1979, but won in a land slide.  Here are some picutures, I’ll be posting more as the conference goes on.
