It’s the last thing most Americans care about. But still, a group of the faithful made the trek to St. Louis this weekend for a regional version of the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Compared to the three-day CPAC conference in Washington last March, the St. Louis event was notably more low-key.

In just over a week, thousands of conservatives will gather at the Gaylord National Resort Hotel and Convention Center at National Harbor in Maryland, just outside Washington. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) moved this year to the new location to accommodate more guests after record-breaking attendance last year.

The conference will feature most of the forerunners of the conservative movement, providing an opportunity for potential presidential nominees to test the waters.
