Is there a video of this?

Here is a 4 hour+ video from CPAC:

If you skip ahead to the 3hour 7min mark, you can see them unveiling the straw poll results, including all the boos.

I doubt McCain did well in the 2007 poll

2007 CPAC straw poll:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPAC_Straw_Poll

Mitt Romney-21%
Rudy Giuliani-17%
Sam Brownback-15%
Newt Gingrich-14%
John McCain-12%

Oh, and George Allen won the 2006 straw poll, w/ McCain a close 2nd place.

[Mr. Morden]

But did McCain speak at CPAC in 2007 and 2006?

Nope.  He didn't show up at CPAC until 2008.
