Two more RedState Gathering videos for the night: the first is Governor Rick Scott, who was of course our host for the weekend…

…and the second is of Speaker-Designate Will Weatherford, who is poised to be the next Speaker of the House in the Florida legislature.

…can be found here.  One of particular interest is this one of selections from Bobby Jindal’s speech:

I was there, of course, and I’m with Allahpundit: can’t we just pick Bobby for VP, and break early for lunch?

We’re always happy to hear from Gov. Bobby Jindal, and after the speech that he gave last Saturday* (as I noted at the time, you could see the crowd collectively thinking Why, Bobby here would make a perfectly good Vice President) he took a few moments to talk to me about… you know.  Stuff**.

(more…)

A couple of videos, bundled together: we had both RNC Co-chair Sharon Day and RNC Chair Reince Priebus speaking at the RedState Gathering.  Both took a moment to speak to me later:

Sharon Day

Reince Priebus

By the way: I am not claiming that Reince was energized enough by the RedState Gathering to go out the next day to the Sunday morning talk shows and Smite the foe.  But neither am I ruling it out, either.

There are going to be a bunch of Florida interviews this week; as noted before, Florida’s primary is going on even as we speak.  And one person I spoke to was Rep. Sandy Adams, who is now in a primary with Rep. John Mica; we touched base after her speech to talk a little about the Gathering, and whatnot.

Rep. Adams’ site is here.

…and here we go.

It’s been a productive four years.

Aside from Ms. Tara Hollis, of course – note that I’m not going to make fun of her for running.  I could, but there’s something endearing about meeting a Democrat who actually still believes that her party is really committed to democracy and egalitarianism and anything else besides the creation and perpetuation of a paternalistic nanny-state run by people who think that they’re too smart to work for a living.  Besides, Hollis will have that presumption beaten out of her soon enough by her fellow-Democrats; there’s no need for me to get involved even if I wanted to.

Anyway.  It’s the middle of July; the deadline for declaring is in less than two months; and there ain’t nobody else stepping up to the plate. What gives?

PS: Bobby Jindal for Governor, of course.  And he should come to the RedState Gathering, too.

We had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Donna Campbell at the RedState Gathering. Dr. Campbell is running against Lloyd Doggett in the 25th district: Doggett, of course, is a favorite of the radical antiwar Left for his extensive and consistent anti-military voting record. Nasty piece of work, all in all, so it was nice to talk with his challenger:

Governor Perry was an excellent host governor for the RedState Gathering, and took the time to talk with many of us on various matters. Here we talk about activism and the 2010 elections:

Because when I tell them that I need a critically important piece of gear for the RedState Gathering to arrive today…

…and pay money to have that happen, it better happen.

Which it did.

No doubt relieving the Amazon.com customer service rep who had to take my perfectly-civil call earlier today to find out how one would declare kanly against his company if the item did not arrive.

It’s September 17th to September 19th in Austin, TX.  Registration information is here; some more details here.  Basically, it’s an opportunity to meet candidates for office, as well as other online right-activists; this year we’re working with American Majority to put together a training session.  Registration is $50 until August 1st ($99 afterwards), so get your spot (and reserve your room) now if you want the discount.

We did the last one in Atlanta last year, and it was a lot of fun.  Hope to see you there!

This interview is from last week’s RedState gathering. Ted Cruz is the guy running for Texas Attorney General – and as you can see, he’s pretty serious about this race. He’s also pretty serious about using the new social media to get his message out:

I think that I have maybe one more of these interviews left: you should check out Dave_in_Fla’s blog at RedState for the speeches themselves, as he was kind enough to do a proper taping of Saturday – and without us asking. We’re lucky in our readers over there.
