McCain Gets Booed and Cheered at Conservative Gathering

Thu, February 07, 2008 - 3:26 PM

Time to read the CPAC tea leaves to see if conservatives will get behind McCain now that Romney has left the race.

McCain on not leaving Iraq without victory = big cheer.

McCain says "I will not sign a bill with any earmarks in it." = huge cheer.

McCain says the word immigration = sustained boos.

Clearly, McCain's position on immigration, which many conservatives criticize as amnesty, is going to be a sore spot going forward.
