IMO, all talk show hosts come out with the "he's really not my ideal candidate" because it gives them room to be negative towards that candidate if he wins. Negativity sells. Ratings are higher when you csn bit@# about the person in charge. No one listens when you are defending the guy in charge.

Suddenly the left thinks Rush is credible? How... selective.

Right! And Limbaugh has been making this point about Romney since the primaries...there's nothing new here. And it just reflects the ambivalent feelings a lot of conservatives have about Romney - they ain't going to vote for Obama - but they know at some point a president Romney is really going to tick them off. But conservatives also know that four more years of Obama will turn this country into an economic basketcase.

Not credible, influential.

He commands an army of 5 million plus rednecks, maybe more, many of which are armed and angry.

If that is not influence, I don't know what is.

King of the teabaggers, Sarah Palin is the Queen, Bachmann is the Duchess, and Beck and West are the court jesters.

And yet what he says only matters to when you either find it incredibly stupid or possibly useful to your side. So yesterday he wasn't credible. But today he is. Tomorrow, who knows, right? Depends on how malleable your standards are.

Most of what Limbaugh says is incredibly stupid, which is why righties get angry when anyone quotes him, yet secretly they agree with him.

How odd.
