February 10-12, 2011--Although
presidential exploratory candidate Fred Karger was not invited to speak at CPAC, he was
not deterred and had
a generally successful conference nonetheless. Karger attended former Gov. Gary Johnson's reception, hosted
his own reception and, thanks to Johnson, on the final day of the
conference he set up on a corner of the OUR
America Initiative booth and handed out the coveted Fred
Frisbees. Above, Karger with filmmaker John Keitel, who filmed
and edited Karger's two TV ads. Below, Karger puts into practice
one
of the many tricks he learned in his decades as a consultant
(Californians of a certain age may recall Deukmejian campaign
raisins). Karger said he was pleased with a recent feature about
him that ran in the Washington Post
Style section, and he is planning another trip to New Hampshire. |
