I have 2 questions about this year's CPAC

1. Why did they invite Romney (who was a 1-term governor and the loser of 2 presidential bids) to speak, but they haven't invited Bush ll (who was a governor, but was also their most recent candidate to "win" the presidency)?

2. Why is there a CPAC, but no LPAC (liberal political action conference)?

CPAC attendees are sponsored by big money donors and corporations.
