I think they were more than polite, for the most part I think they loved him.
I think they may have even loved him personally, but they hate his positions on abortion, amnesty for illegals, gun control, embryonic stem cell research, partial birth abortion, global warming and homosexual marriage/civil unions. Yes, they were polite to him, but inside we know what they are thinking.
Dream on, he is a democrat with an R by ITS name!
From one of the bloggers:
The CPAC bloggers are covering the Mayor’s speech admirably, so I won’t belabor each point of the speech. But here are some initial impressions from the room.
Rudy packed ‘em in. The doors closed 20 minutes before he began speaking and I’m told the poor CPAC interns were locked arm to arm keeping more people from the capacity room. (Erick Erickson and Rob Bluey got the short stick in all this — let’s say that their 12:30 new media panel definitely didn’t get the attendance it richly deserved.)
Note: Standing ovation to start and end his speech. Even the Romney folks that had been hired to pass out his literature were gathered around the TV sets watching Rudy. That part comes to me courtesy of a CR I know that was there.
Rudy probably believes the same thing.
Could I interest either of you in a bridge I have for sale cheap?
