Anne and Rush have devolved from conservative activism to being mere observers.

I don't know about Anne, but I respect Rush and his explanation as to why he won't endorse Fred. Rush can't stand McCain (neither can I). It would be the ultimate insult for Rush to endorse Fred only to have Fred drop out and throw his support to McCain......

One thing is for sure, if Fred drops out before SuperDuper Tuesday, all those reports of lack of "fire in the belly" were true....and we will see without any spin what Fred is really made of. It'll be a sad day for this Tennessean.....I thought Fred had more gumption than that.

Fred had plenty of fire in his belly, he just didn’t get the votes.

I respect Rush too. He informs us of the cmlexities. But he has not exercised leadership for the conservative cause. If he had done so early for say Duncan Hunter, or Fred, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Its one thing to have influence. Its quite another to refuse or fail to use it.

This was no time for timidity.

Anne and Rush have been uncharacteristically timid for the past 3 months on supporting Fred or Duncan.

As a result the MSM toasted them both with "No traction" action.
