Well, online at onsite. Generally, these events are a bit different from the inside, including (surprisingly) less chances to schmooze with the candidates than you&#8217;d expect. A &#8216;spin room&#8217; is there primarily to get access to raw material for the article that you need to write the next day; if you were thinking that candidates would hold court there, well&#8230; no. Still useful for getting access to campaign managers and press liaisons, though.]]>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:30:07 -0500<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2011/11/23/the-cnnheritageaei-debate-the-day-after-n41273
