In tonight’s show, Democratic Strategist Karl Frisch joins Thom on set to discuss Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and the GOP field.

Next week marks the start of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference - or CPAC. A chance for right-wingers of all stripes to get together - plot out strategy - and reconnect with the party faithful - CPAC is usually a good indicator of which way the conservative movement is headed. Which makes it all the more interesting that one of the most forward-thinking conservative groups around won't be attending this year's conference. Founded in 1977 as a safe space for gay and lesbian conservatives - the Log Cabin Republicans would fit right in at CPAC. It supports - among other things - repealing Obamacare - fracking for oil - and preserving the sequester. Sounds pretty conservative - right? Not according to the American Conservative Union - the group that runs CPAC. It has refused to allow the Log Cabin Republicans to participate in next week's festivities. Joining Thom for more on this is Gregory T. Angelo - National Executive Director of the Log Cabin Republicans
