Description | By JEFF ZELENY
Sarah Palin has declined an invitation to join leading Republicans in appearing at the next Conservative Political Action Conference, a key gathering of party activists who hold an influential voice in the Republican presidential nominating contest.
Ms. Palin was the last prominent Republican who had yet to confirm her attendance, and some of her supporters had held out hope that she would agree to deliver a speech at the event Feb. 10-12 in Washington. But organizers of the event confirmed Thursday that she would not attend, marking the third year in a row that she has opted out of the conference that features thousands of conservative activists.
Several other prospective Republican presidential candidates are scheduled to speak at the three-day forum, including Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Senator John Thune of South Dakota. |
