I’m at CPAC right now and can assure you that the majority of those in that room are not bused-in McCain supporters but folks who waited quite some time in security lines to watch this.

Thanks for that first hand info.

Fair enough. But how many of the people in that room other than the bused-in McCain supporters are showing any enthusiasm for him? This is a group that he’s snubbed and insulted repeatedly. I can sure tell you that as a conservative living in a place where I can see what illegal immigration is doing to a city, and also in favor of strong borders and interior enforcement, I don’t appreciate people like McCain and Graham calling me a racist.

So you think that they wouldn’t have folks waiting in line like the ‘regular folk’?

I knew that but alot of other folks don’t seem to believe it. Denial dies a slow, hard death.

Your first hand account is in contradiction to Freeper trueblackman's first hand account

see: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1966565/posts

"I arrived at CPAC this morning around 10:30, the first thing I noticed was several buses from out of town with young McCain supporters taking talking points from old persons.

As I milled around for nearly 2 hours, even did a segement with G.Gordon Liddy. McCain's supports roved the floor after Vice President Cheney's Speech, trying to sale McCain as "A true Conservative and a vote against McCain means a lost of appointments to the federal bench and a chance to work with open minded Democrats!" several operatives tried a number of times to sale me on this point and that McCain is the candidate that can bring all of us together, right!!!

I also noticed that several RLC and Republican groups also had tables at CPAC and were also trying to sale McCain as well.

With all this being said, I can assure you that when the media is trying to sale you on MCCain getting a warm welcome at CPAC, that the room will be filled with his 1,000-2,000 supporters he had bussed or driven in and why do you think he waited to 3pm to give his so-called speech?"
