when you take a closer look at the list of the speakers one person stands out from the rest. we're not talking about sarah palin or marco rubio, rand paul, but the long-time, yes, the long-time democratic strategist and cnn contributor paul bog eg was there today. >> dick cheney who said ronald reagan taught us deficits don't matter. as he is about everything he was wrong then and he is now. of course deficits matter. any one of you who supported the bush tax cuts, bush war in iraq or bush entitlement plan has no business talking about debt. sit down, shut up. let the grown-ups handle it you're welcome. paul is here for his strategy session as is one of the emcees tomorrow night. what was it like? all of a sudden chris christie not invited.
