[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/06/13/art.pence.jpg caption="Indiana Rep. Mike Pence might be eyeing a White House bid."]Washington (CNN) - Add one more name to the growing list of potential 2012 presidential contenders attending the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference in April: Mike Pence.
An aide to the Indiana Republican confirmed the speaking appearance.
Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, has a serious following among fiscal conservatives and has already made trips to the early proving grounds of Iowa and South Carolina.
By delivering remarks to the SRLC - a major gathering of Republican officials and activists from 14 southern states, held this year in New Orleans - Pence is signaling that he intends to remain part of the early presidential chatter. The event is held every two to four years and usually conducts a presidential straw poll.
Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are all making appearances at the event, but Mitt Romney is not. Mike Huckabee has not yet said if he will attend.

I sure hope Rep Pense, the no sense Repug, does get in the frey. This man is sick and is a typical neocon repug. We liberals are puillg for you to get in the presidential race in 1012. We will clean your clock.
"Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are all making appearances at the event, but Mitt Romney is not."
That's because the Southern Republican Leadership Conference is filled with rightwing, evangelical "christians" who believe Mormons belong to a cult.
Why anyone would be a Republican these days, with their intolerant, arrogant, hate-filled leaders, is beyond me.
This is wonderful news. We are so happy that CNN has announced this. I know that Mike Pence would be a great candidate for the presidency. Isn't he the one who stated "the market in Bagdad was just as safe as the ones in Indiana. Great reporting Peter Hamby.
Southern Republican Leadership Conference has to be an oxymoron. Don't you think so?
What is with all the has been and wanna-be's in the con party?
So? Who is he, the next God of the tin-foilers? I couldn't care less what the court jesters say to the brainless clowns they lead. He can go, or he can stay for all I care. But know this, he will never be president pandering to the technically insane. Those birther, deather, dinosaurs will be the death of this country. They don't have one book read between them, and now they want to lead this country. Insane, insane.
Raise a lot of money because you'll have to buy a vote. Thinking people won't give our country over to a gaggle of peabrains who think Sarah Palin is the greatest thing since a toothpick.
They should rename the SRLC to "A Gathering of Idiots".
I would be ashamed to have Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Boby Jindal or Haley Barbour as President of the United States. They would cheapen the office.
Messers Pence, Pawlenty may have the gravitas and ethics worthy of the highest office in the land .... I'm just not sure yet, but I know these others don't.
We now have a President we can be proud to claim .... let's keep that tradition going in the future .... no more "Dubyah" ... no more of the "Paris Hilton of Politics".
Who cares? I mean besides Mike Pence.
What on earth are the Republican ideas for addressing the nation's needs besides a tax cut for some fat cat and .of course. encouraging the "gun industry'.
