UPDATE 10:06 a.m. -- David Keene of the ACU just introduced Ed Feulner of the Heritage Foundation. Ed Morrisey is livechatting from Blogger's Row. The Omni Shoreham lobby is full of earnest young Paulistas handing out leaflets for Friday's Liberty Forum with Ron Paul and Andrew Napolitano. Will continue updating throughout the day . . .

Not for nothing but Stacy McCain has been very supportive of both Paul and Schiff! He says he's been an Austrian for many years.

That's great. I've read his blog occasionally.

THanks for the updates.

Before anyone starts researching Congressman Paul Ryan hoping to find liberty...I'll save you some time. He's the worst kind of neocon, talks about how his young kids will have to pay twice the tax when they grow up. But then votes YES on TARP, Medicare Part D, FISA, Patriot Act, etc.
