Michael Barone on Giuliani’s CPAC speech:
Giuliani spoke for 40 minutes, and there were some rather long intervals with no applause–but also with no whispering or buzzes: It was eerily quiet, and I got the impression people were genuinely interested in hearing what Giuliani had to say.
This is very true. I spent some time yesterday editing audio from the Giuliani, Romney, and Brownback speeches (my computer crashed, so the effort was for naught). There was plenty of background noise during the Brownback and Romney speeches; on the Giuliani recording, there was almost none.
