The Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual free-for-all of conservative thought, convened Thursday for a three-day party that brings together 11,000 conservative activists, opinion shapers and lawmakers to develop their strategy for the coming year. This year's event features at least 10 of the would-be 2012 Republican presidential candidates, all trying to send a convincing message home with the grassroots leaders who will fan out across the country to share their views about those best suited to lead the future.
