I decided long ago that Hannity was a moderate at best.

And Rush IS NOT supporting Rudy and has made that clear on many occasions.
Rush has said he (like Hannity) has a challenge on some issues with Rudy. He has said that he will not be engaged in the conversation this early.
Rush has a long time personal relationship with Rudy ... that may not carry to an endorsement. He also understands that Rudy has the best chance by far to defeat Hillary by enough of a margin that Congress comes back in play.
The most important polls today are:
1. favorable / unfavorable - negatives here are hard to overcome and it costs a lot of bucks to get out of the “don’t know” category e.g. Hillary - big negatives. Rudy and McCain - big positives.
Thompson (less so) and all the others have to get out of the “don’t know”
2. fund raising - RG is raising very large amounts of bucks and does not have to spend for name ID e.g. Romney can raise the bucks but has to pour into ID.
The article this morning about Thompson wanting to use the Internet to offset his late start in bucks is pure fantasy -with less than 8 months till the first primary and no organization in place
