I was speaking to one of the church wives from my Orthodox community recently, and she said that events like CPAC are good places to meet people and make connections.
I agree that connections can be made, but it largely depends on the types of connections one wishes to make.
Am I likely to meet people who are critical of all political viewpoints at first glance but lean more conservative because they're against most things in the left-wing, or am I going to meet mostly seals for the GOP?...
I could see making business connections perhaps since I believe it's reasonable to assume that more small business owners will lean conservative, but she also said that it could be a means to meet females.
This would only be possible via the indirect connection of myself -> business owner/responsible male -> his daughter from a traditional community similar to mine.
This all arose because our community is small and the demographics aren't ideal, but there are better options here than elsewhere.
