Romney to Speak at CPAC

Hope Mitt Romney ate his Wheaties. Set to deliver his first public speech since election night Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Republicans says Romney should expect a lack of enthusiasm from GOP members in attendance. Romney has already been receiving what many are calling the “B treatment” at the Maryland meeting. Attendee Laurie Pettengill, a former New Hampshire state representative, summed up the general feeling about the almost president: “He’s kind of last year.” Republican leaders say their conduct is not meant as a punishment, but rather a sign that the party is ready to “turn the page.”
