I’m not so sure.
Rush loves being in the role of educator and broadcaster and he enjoys his job.
It’s not his fault that there is a vacuum of charismatic conservative politicians out there.
There is no reason why Rush should have to make the transition from broadcaster to candidate unless that is something he really wants to do.
I think he’d be thrilled to see Jindal or Palin take the initiative and Rush would provide support doing what he does best.
I think Rush would answer the call of duty, but who is in the position to ask him? A grass-roots campaign to put him on the ballot might work.
I’m sure there is a vacuum out there, but there are also some true conservatives that maybe aren’t ready to have the ‘a’ exam the media will line up to give them. I wish Mike Pence of Indiana were Pres but I wouldn’t wish the scrutiny on him or his family.
