Okay so you were there. But those who said it was boring had to have been predisposed to not like him. As for not talking policy, then they just weren't listening.
From the way the "true conservatives" talk about Rudy around here, it's a miracle he wasn't run out of the room.
The difference between the ovation for Huckabee and the ovation for Rudy was pretty telling.
Of course, I do only know what I saw no TV. But that's where this will all play out.
I have to go to bed because I have another long day of CPAC tomorrow but real quick, first of all, nobody was going to boo Rudy. Everyone here is polite and respectful. The only animosity going on is between the Romney people and the Brownback people and it's pretty nasty. The booing has been reserved for the mentioning of names like John Kerry and Pelosi. Also, the room was I would say 60% full for Huckabee whereas it was jam-packed for Rudy so there were a lot more pairs of hands to clap for Rudy. The must-see events of the day for everyone here were Rudy and Coulter.
