Mitt Romney to address CPAC next month
After remaining almost completely out of the public eye since losing the 2012 election to President Obama, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is stepping back into the spotlight with a speech next month to conservative activists.
Romney will address attendees of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference when they meet in Washington March 14-16.
"This is an opportunity for him to express his appreciation to supporters and friends," a senior Romney aide told CBS News.
Since the campaign, the former Massachusetts governor has spent much of his time at his La Jolla, Calif., home. He's been photographed pumping his own gas, shopping at Costco, and visiting Disneyland with his grandchildren. But he has held no public events. The speech at CPAC may mark the end of his quiet period. According to reports
Romney is no stranger to the CPAC conference. In 2008, he used his address to announce he was dropping out of the Republican presidential primary. In 2012, he told an audience skeptical of his Republican bona fides that he was "severely conservative."
The news of Romney's CPAC speech was first reported by National Review.

Hmmm. Why is he speaking to a "Conservative" PAC.
He is more liberal than Obama.

So I guess all that talk of the repiglicans becoming more mainstream is a lot of hooey.
The repiglicans would rather surround themselves with extremists and baggers like Santorum and runt Paul who would turn this nation into a free for all or a muslim like theocracy.
Good luck winning any future elections. White geriatric racists better hope that young white racists multiply rapidly
because the right wing is blowing their own veins open over Obama's re-election. They can't accept a majority vote when runs against them
spoiled brats
Last time I looked, Dems had the Pres and Senate; Repubs the House of Reps.
I'm sure the Romans thought they had a lock on everything, too. So much for permanent anything.
Your great leaders didn't have a magic cure for you.
He is more liberal than Obama.
