We tend to be polite folks. But it’s an exageration to say his welcome was “warmer” than Romney’s. I imagine other speakers would have the same complaint about your characterization.
Rudy did stick to well-worn conservative positions in his CPAC speech, which brought applause (as they would if said by Joe Leiberman as well).
One way to avoid booing is to avoid talking about things people disagree with you about. I imagine Rudy won’t mention any of his positions on a host of subjects, and will stick to terrorism and fiscal conservatism.
If only.
I didn’t see you agree that Rudy came in first by 4 I said FOUR points when adding the 1st and 2nd place choices. Then why did all these conservatives vote for him if .... as you stated. It’s all in your minds eye. We see and hear what we wish. Perhaps that goes for me too but the FIRST place is an actual event.
