Rush Limbaugh Endorses Romney
Posted on February 5, 2008
It’s not like it is shocking. After all, we know what he thinks of Huck and McCain. Romney’s got the conservative talk show hosts lined up. Mark Levin, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and now El Rushbo himself.
The question of course: Is it too late to make any difference?
Thanks, pal. You could have endorsed Mitt or, better yet, Fred when it mattered. Now it looks like you’ve managed to A: back a likely loser, hurting your own brand and B: accomplish next-to-nothing for your trouble. Rush, I love you man, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you, but you blew this one. You did at least endorse the conservative candidate, so you get partial credit, but I don’t think you’ve helped yourself or us today.
The big question, of course, is the timing. Did this come one day too late, right on time — or does this just confirm the direction in which Rush has been going all along? I think it’s the latter. Rush’s opposition to McCain probably has already created whatever impact it has for today. The bigger question is whether it can turn the race if Romney can keep it relatively close after tonight.
James Dobson says if McCain is the nominee, he will sit this one out!
I can’t find WV polls to gauge, but Martha MacCallum claims Romney’s 41-33 win during the first round of balloting was a surprise. Huckabee won the caucus when McCain’s supporters were apparently told to throw their support to him and keep the state out of Mitt’s hands.
Pretty maverick like strategies going on huh? Its gonna get really interesting.
