The HuffPo brunch today was easily the best panel we've attended in the last two weeks. It was a decidedly smaller affair than the one last week in Denver, at least as far as the audience size is concerned (guesstimating 100 people to the more than three hundred at the DNC). It again featured a large panel (Tony Blankley, Arianna Huffington, Laura Ingraham, David Kralik, Cyrus Krohn, Frank Luntz, Peggy Noonan, Rep. John Shadegg), and moderators Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinsk did an excellent job of keeping up the pace. We'd do a comprehensive write-up for you, but one of the beauties of Twitter is that it's already been done for us! Between FishbowlDC, Ana Marie Cox, and Rachel Sklar you'll feel as though you were actually there. We do think it bears mentioning that thus far familiar "right wing" media faces are far more engaging and inclusive than we might have suspected (Laura Ingraham and Bill Kristol we're looking at you). Some pics after the jump.
