Rush, Anne Coulter and others also have failed to exude leadership by supporting a conservative candidate early and strongly to make up for the MSM and GOP censorship of Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. Not only have contenders in the primary failed to exude leadership, so have people like COuter and Rush. They have been uncharacteristically timid.

Both now actually are closet Mitt Romney backers.They are too timid to say it.

From whence comes such timidity? A fear of losing their bully pulpits within the Republican party, and a fear of losing their connservative fans.

Anne and Rush do not know it but the exodus has already begun, with scads of "Republicans" voting Obama in Minnesota.

Rush and Anne:

"Lead, follow or get out of the way."

And they are getting out of the way.

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

I’d add Hannity and Hewitt to you list as well.

Ann is not timid. She has an article up on her website you would find informative perhaps.
Duncan never got started and neither did Fred. Everyone like Hunter but you do have to campaign.
BTW....Huckaboo is here in Gainesville Florida today for a fundraiser....lolol.... I can’t imagine there being much money here for someone not on the democratic ticket.

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.

Excellent post.
