Infiltrator hijacks RNC floor pass, charges trip to College Republicans
Mike Connery thought he had found a golden ticket: a contest he could easily win that would pay his freight to the Republican National Convention. If all went right, he'd even gain a coveted floor pass for all four days of the RNC.

There was just one catch: Connery, a progressive activist, blogger and founder of www.futuremajority.com, is a fairly prominent figure in liberal politics. His name is all over the Internet, and a simple Google search reveals that he's neither wolf nor hawk.

But the Republicans vetted Connery with the same vigor that they had previously reserved for Sarah Palin.

On the College Republicans' dime, Connery's been here all week, researching and infiltrating. But it all started at the Netroots Nation conference, when the would-be mole and friends noticed an opportunity. The right-wing collegians were running a "Win a Trip to the Convention" contest using their Storm social networking website. The site is little-used, so College Republicans offered the top 40 people who recruited new members free lodging in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
