More than 100 Republican women are gathered today to discuss how to draw in women voters and encourage them to take on leadership roles in the party and within their communities.

The Bridging the Gap Summit kicked off last night with a welcoming reception at the S.C. Aquarium and continued today with a series of meetings at the Memminger Auditorium.

Some of the Republican partys most influential women were expected to attend.

Controversial conservative columnist Ann Coulter delivered a keynote speech during this mornings session on getting more women into leadership roles. As she began, she spent a lot of time talking about immigration. She also said people like President Barack Obama as a person but that wont transfer to Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden if either of them get the nomination in 2016. No one likes Hillary personally, Coulter said.

She also said the GOP has a good chance in 2016, but the party needs to make sure not to screw the American populace by serving business only.

Conservatives and liberals, Coulter said, all have something in common. We all hate Obamacare.

Other sessions were to include how the party can appeal to minority and young women, and how it can draw in women at the state and local levels.

Other women expected to attend the event include columnist Star Parker, talk show host Dana Loesch and Republican National Committee co-chairwoman Sharon Day.

Karen Floyd, a conservative activist of Spartanburg, organized the event. Floyd is renowned as the first woman to chair South Carolinas Republican party.
