Actually Rush didn't really engage the campaign until Ed Rollins, Huckabee's campaign manager, basically affirmed what the unnamed Huckabee operative said. And his "attacks" have been in the form of legitimate questions about Huckabee's record and positions.

Such as Rush saying that anyone who votes for Huckabee is basing it on "identity" politcs.

A question isn't voting for a conservative Rush endorses "identity" politics?

First of all, Rush never said that. Why must Huckabee supporters insist on spinning everything? What he said was Huckabee was engaging in identity politics. Sorry, but he is. I've an evangelical Christian and every Huckabee supporter I know has started the conversation by saying they support him and I should support him because he is "one of us."

Second, Rush hasn't endorsed anyone. And "conservative" is based upon positions, not identity.

I am open to consider a rational argument why I should support Huckabee, but I've yet to find a Huckabee supporter prepared to offer it.
