"Let's say that long ago I said, 'Folks, I have surveyed the scene, and there's only one guy in this race that's worth supporting, and that man is Fred Thompson.' All right. So I say it, and Fred runs along with his current position in the polls, and then decides to get out. What if Fred decides to endorse McCain, or throw his support to him? It's entirely possible. Where does that leave me? I'm not going to put myself in this position."

Well, at least now I know why he never endorsed Fred.

If he had, though, I don't think he would have had to worry about the "What if?"

Fred would be the nominee by now.

Folks, Rush Limbaugh is, in this respect, a political coward. He doesn’t want to be wrong, and he doesn’t want to diss the ultimate winner, and he doesn’t want to be blamed for an eventual loss.

Rush is saying that his ego and his on air reputation trumps supporting the only real conservative in the race. So we’re supposed to support Fred, but Rush won’t? That’s a heck of a way for America’s conservative media leader to operate on the most crucial issue of the day.
