From Michell Malkin’s blog:
3:25pm Eastern. John McCain introduced. 50/50 cheers and boos.
I’s been along while…we should do this more often.
Pardon my absence last year…I was merely preoccupied.
Maybe i should just sit down.
You were addressed by a great governor, governor romney. had a phone conversation, congratulated. we agreed to sit down together and unite the party.
To Romney camp: I congratulate you, you did a fine job, you are welcome to join my campaign.
Then quickly moves to praising Huckabee.
Boos.
I’m proud to be a conservative, and I’m proud to make that claim because we share the most basic principles. Liberty is from our Creator, not created by governments.
Like you, I understand, as Burke observed, whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither is safe.
…I’ve always believed, like Reagan, “a political party cannot be all things to be all people.”
I attended my first CPAC conference as a guest of Ronald Reagan…
Campaigned in Iowa against agri-subsidies. Campaigned in Florida against national catastrophic health insurance bill. Opposed prescription drug benefit. Touts 2nd amendment record. I have proudly defended by 24-year pro-life record.
Segues to surge defense.
Boos.
His gang was very unsuccessful at having those Huckabee boos drowned out!
