Here are a few notes from today's Conservative Bloggers Briefing host by Robert Bluey at Heritage.

Congressman McCotter
Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (MI-11) fielded a slew of questions on Iraq, the war on terror, government spending, and fashioning a winning vision for the GOP. McCotter is the Chairman of the House Policy Committee. Since the committee describes it's purpose as, "the principal forum for the consideration of forward-looking legislative initiatives," it shouldn't be surprising that McCotter is focused on "putting forward a positive agenda" for the GOP as opposed to simply opposing everything that the Democrats do.

He said that Republicans have a choice between being,

a transactional minority, or a transformational movement

Another interesting insight from McCotter was on President Bush's legacy.

President Bush will be the Republican harry Truman. He’ll be remembered better in 40 years, then in four years.

$1 Trillion
Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute came by to talk about his recent report explaining why federal regulations cost consumers over $1 trillion last year.

CPAC
Lisa De Pasquale, CPAC's director solicited advice for next year's conference, which they're already hard at work on. Lisa was inspired by yesterday's YouTube/CNN debate and is looking for ways to include user-generated content (i.e. questions on video) into next years conference. If you have any ideas, send them an email.

Personally, I'd like to see a question from the guys at RedState Update...
