Romney will speak at conservative conference via video


Mitt Romney has tweaked his weekend schedule and now won't deliver an in-person address to the Faith and Freedom Conference this weekend, but will instead address the D.C. gathering via video.

That's because he'll be on a bus, zooming (can a bus "zoom?") around the heartland on a five-day tour.

But that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of live star-gazing at the conference.

Leading Veepers, Rob Portman and Marco Rubio, will give high-profile addresses, as will second-tier names like Bob McDonnell and Jim DeMint; and "no-tier but nevertheless interesting names" like Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain.
