Live from CPAC: The curtains open
By Michelle Malkin • February 7, 2008 09:27 AM

Bryan Preston and I arrived at CPAC at 5:30am this morning–yes, bad time to give up caffeine for Lent–to set up the Hot Air camera and get through security. There’s a shortage of metal detectors and an abundance of attendees. We’re already parked in the main ballroom at the Omni Shoreham. A lot of people will just stay here for the duration of the speeches. VP Cheney’s at 11am, Mitt Romney at 12:30pm, John McCain at 3pm, and Ron Paul at 4:30pm. Believe or not, a lovely young CPAC volunteer who identified herself as a Ron Paul supporter came by and said hi.
