Exactly right. All the right wing radio guys have been trying to beef up Thompson. So far hasn't made much of an impact.

I expect Rush to indirectly indicate who he supports through his discussions, and I suspect it would be Thompson.

Rush Limbaugh is the biggest joke on radio. I don't understand how someone like him can have a syndicated radio show. I remember listening to his show for the first time and being like WTH?. What a loser this guy is!

Rush is anything but a loser. He still hosts the most popular show on radio

That being said, I don't care for him and have not listened to him for years. I doubt that his opinion can sway very many people.

His most important contribution to our national conversation is to act as a counter to the constant liberal view point of the national media.

"Loser"? Really?

The widest syndicated show on the airways.

One of the most influential radio hosts in history.

One of the most listened to radio talk show hosts - by all political sides - in history

And, he has made a darn good living at it too boot!

And YOU call HIM a loser? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

When people are at a loss for words and can't come up with a valid argument, they often resort to the name calling we see against Rush. It's sorta like an adult temper tantrum!

While you wallow in your boring $50,000 a year job, Rush makes millions and more people listen to him every day than all the network news (television) programs combined. He is laughing at you all the way to the bank!

He has already hurt the Huckster by constantly complaining about him all thte time. He seems to like Roomney.

Like I am going to listen to a pill-popping college dropout that could not even handle Southeast Missouri State University as a source of political "analysis" everyday. Truly for the ignorant masses.
